Should we not spell out the list of supported power domains per SoC
here? The example gives only one, but we have a bunch of others. If they
can be referred to by phandle I'd expect there to be a list of them. I'm
not sure if this was discussed earlier, but does it perhaps make sense
to tie names to IDs, such that we don't need the reg property? That'd be
analogous to how PMICs define regulators.

The reason why I'm asking is that in the above example it's possible to
have this:

			pd_audio: pcie {
				reg = <TEGRA_POWERGATE_SOR>;
				...
			};

And there'd be no way to sanity check other than by human inspection.
Perhaps I'm being overly paranoid and we can easily filter these out
during code review.

I suppose that if Rob's fine with it, I can be too.
