I've got a generic question to this: do we have any examples of 
power-domain specific ->start_device() and ->stop_device() callbacks? A 
common case is, when these callbacks start and stop clocks, associated 
with the device, but this is not power-domain specific, right? Do we have 
any examples of different power domains in a system, having different 
these calbacks, but all devices in one power-domain, having the same ones?

Thanks
