+Devices and PM domains may be defined as IRQ-safe, if they can be powered
+on/off even when the IRQs are disabled. An IRQ-safe device in a domain will
+disallow power management on the domain, unless the domain is also defined as

+IRQ-safe domain is that it must also be defined as IRQ-safe.
Support for power domains is provided through the pm_domain field of struct
device. This field is a pointer to an object of type struct dev_pm_domain,
Update documentation to reflect the changes made to support IRQ safe PM domains.
