Your concerns are certainly correct, I completely forgot about this.
We need to specify what power-domain index belongs to what, by using
power-domain-names in DT. So a CPU node, that has both psci for power
and scmi for performance would then typically look like this:

power-domains = <&CPU_PD0>, <&scmi_dvfs 4>;
power-domain-names = "psci", "scmi";

I will take care of this in the next version - and thanks a lot for
pointing this out!

Kind regards
