heh, nice... Also - if you have the oneOf stuff here for the same reason
as the locks, the same logic with min/maxItems applies here.

I dunno, depends really on whether or not it is possible to have power
domain "a" and domain "c" in a rogue gpu. If "a" and "b" is all it will
ever be, the order is fixed by the binding and you can do
genpd_dev_pm_attach_by_id() instead of genpd_dev_pm_attach_by_name().
