I'm a wee bit lost here, as I unfortunately know little about how Linux
handles this power-domain stuff. If the DPHY tries to probe and some
pre-requisite does not yet exist, you can return -EPROBE_DEFER right?

But I don't think that's what you are asking, as using
of_find_compatible_node() doesn't depend on there being a driver AFAIU.

Is the DPHY tx module a different driver to the rx one?
If yes, does it have a different bit you must set in the syscon?

+CC Walker, do you have a register map for the jh7110? My TRM only says
what the registers are, but not the bits in them. Would make life easier
if I had that info.

I'm fine with taking this code, I just want to make sure that the soc
driver doing this is the right thing to do.
I was kinda hoping that combining with the DPHY-rx series might allow
the PHY folk to spot if you are doing something here with the power
domains that doesn't make sense.

No, this was my mail client doing things that I was unsure of. You
didn't do anything wrong.

I was speaking to Rob about this over the weekend, he asked:
'Why isn't "starfive,jh7110-aon-syscon" just the power-domain provider
itself?'
Do we actually need to add a new binding for this at all?

Cheers,
Conor.
