IMO, the idea is fine, but I'm not crazy about the implementation in
powerdomain.c, which is meant for pwrdm generic code.   In particular,
I'm not crazy about the pwrdm lookups in powerdomain.c.

Since pm<soc>.c already has references to mpu_pwrdm and core_pwrdm, why
not just add the pwrdm_clkdm_enable/disable calls directly in pm<soc>.c

Also, the changelog should be a bit more specific about why CORE
powerdomain is also handled here when most of the code only talks about
the CPU.
