Not sure if I get your point correctly. We removed this PM API because:

1. mtk_crtc_ddp_hw_init() is called by mtk_drm_crtc_atomic_enable(),
and the new inline function mtk_ddp_comp_power_on() is called before hw
init, we can make sure the power is on before configuring the hardware.

2. The device "crtc->dev->dev" here is assigned by the probe function
of mtk-mmsys, which will be look like "mediatek-drm.auto.13", and this
device is not linked to any power domain.
