Ok. I suppose any old platform like JUNO that missed this will have to
update their DT to use the new scmi_perf_domain...well it should have
anyway really, it is just that now it is silently failing.

No problem, I can do it next week, but regarding the zero domain case,
I remember I used to do the same on regulator/voltage driver and bail out
when no domains were found, but we were asked by some customer to support
instead the very useless and funny case of zero domains for some of their
testing setup scenarios .. i.e. allowing the driver to load with zero domains
(and do nothing) and then unload cleanly avoiding harms while unloading ...)

Thoughts about this ? Can fix as you prefer .

Thanks,
