I suggested power domains because it looks like SoC glue code
that we need to do when the device is powered on and off? Unless
I totally misread how it was used. And I suppose I should have
said generic power domains (genpd) instead of power domains,
because I agree it's not actual power management, just some SoC
runtime PM stuff it seems. But who knows, I probably misread it
all.
