[PATCH 0/3] pmdomain: core: add support for domain hierarchies in DT

Currently, PM domains can only support hierarchy for simple
providers (e.g. ones with #power-domain-cells = 0).

Add support for oncell providers as well by adding a new property
`power-domains-child-ids` to describe the parent/child relationship.

This idea was previously discussed on the arm-scmi mailing list[1]
where this approach was proposed by Ulf, and then an initial RFC[2]
implementation was made. From there, it was suggested by Rob[3] to
use a nexus node map instead, which led to several more versions
attempting to implement that, culminating in v5[4], where Rob and
Geert then had second thoughts about the power-domain-map approach.

Therefore, I've gone back to the approach in the initial RFC[2] to use
the child-ids approach.

Changes compared to initial RFC[2]
- dropped RFC
- rewrote the parse/add function to use iterators/helpers from of.h
- add a remove function for cleanup
- use child domain language instead of subdomain
