I don't have a strong opinion about it.  I just want the legal folks to be
happy.  I'm fine with whatever achieves that goal.

I'm fine if you keep it as-is.  I mentioned the alternative because
Stephen had requested the same modification on my qcom-rpmh-regulator
driver patch [1].  Other reviewers may care about this point.

Thanks

A warning message might be a good idea if this condition should ever be
reached but also doesn't necessarily imply that probing must be ceased.
It looks like of_genpd_add_provider_onecell() ignores the NULL initialized
data->domains[i] values so it should be safe to leave the holes in and not
decrement num_domains accordingly.

Take care,
David
