Allow PM Domain states to be defined dynamically by the drivers. This
removes the limitation on the maximum number of states possible for a
domain.

I can think of some hacks, but they are uglier than the problem we are
trying to solve. We could drop this patch. Real world situations would
not have more than 8 states and if there is one, we can think about it
then.

Thanks,

Hmm.. We are not wasting much memory in comparison, but if you insist,
sure.

It would work.

i.
How about an additional static state by default in the domain structure,
if the platform does not provide a state then the default structure is
used. That way we dont have to track it. But it does waste memory
eqivalent to a state, when there are states provided by the platform.

ii.
I could add a void *free to the domain structure and save the memory
allocated by default in the *free. At domain remove, we just do a kfree
on free.

iii.
Use a boolean flag.

Thanks,
Lina
