Will do, if needed. (But as per below I am removing multiple PD support
and hence this might not be needed)

Sure!

Ok. I will remove the support for multiple PM domains for now.

I will wait for the DT folks to take a look at this series. Hopefully
DT folks will have some comments on the approach of a virtual device
like this implementation vs specifying this info in the power domain
controllers. I just wanted to run it by you to check whether you see any
pros or cons from a genpd perspective.

I will wait for a few more days for any additional review comments
before sending v3 out.
