As I understand the problem is that fimd and dp drivers access hw
registers without enabling power domain. So the proper solution is to
fix these drivers.

Btw. there are already patches removing hw access from probe/bind of
fimd. I guess removing also hw access from dp probe/bind could be a good
solution.
