There is a WARN_ON() in dev_pm_domain_set() that triggers on attempts
to set the pm_domain pointer for devices with a driver bound.

However, that WARN_ON() triggers on attempts to clear the pointer
too and the test it uses is based on checking the device's
p->knode_driver pointer which still is set when the device bus
type's/driver's ->remove callback has been executed.  This
leads to false-positive warnings when bus type code calls
dev_pm_domain_set() to clear the pm_domain pointer after
invoking the driver's ->remove() callback.

To avoid those false-positives, make dev_pm_domain_set() check
if the pointer passed to it is NULL and skip the warning in
that case.

Fixes: 989561de9b51 (PM / Domains: add setter for dev.pm_domain)

Tested on Intel Braswell where modprobe -r sdhci-acpi caused a warning
before this patch.

Perhaps this information then becomes a bit misleading, as it's okay
to clear the pointer, but not assign it to a valid PM domain.

Otherwise, this looks good to me!

Kind regards

Well, this is a "you're doing a wrong thing" warning and it does say
what the wrong thing is.  Does it have to be more specific?  I don't
think so.

Thanks,
Rafael
