+Power domain bindings for the power domains based on SCPI Message Protocol

+This binding uses the generic power domain binding[4].

+Required properties:

+ - num-domains: Total number of power domains provided by SCPI. This is

+		query this information runtime.

I guess there should be an 'at' here.


Will fix.

Are domain IDs zero-based and definitely non-sparse?


Yes

What exactly does this matter for? Just for validation at parsing time,
or is this strictly required for correctness?


This is mainly to know the maximum number of power domains that firmware
supports. This will help the software handling the provider part to
setup the information in advance before any consumer request for the
service.

If we send a command with an invalid domain ID, would the FW reliably
report an error that we can recover from?


Yes for anything above this value, firmware returns invalid parameter
error. It's would be good to have that as a separate command instead
of getting it via DT. We already have that for OPPs and clocks. Just
this lacks that feature.

Otherwise, this looks ok. I'd just like to make sure I've understood
correctly.


Sure, thanks for the review.
