This driver has no .remove callback so there's no unbind path for
qmp_pcie_pd_power_off()'s async put to race with. And even if
dev_pm_domain_detach is somehow called. qmp_pcie_pd_detach()'s
dev_pm_domain_detach(dev, true) handles any still-pending async request
internally (pm_runtime_disable() → __pm_runtime_barrier()).

As Konrad commented, clock-output-names is required via bindings, so the
check is not required.
