All you'd need to read from DT would be the device-specific ID for
TI-SCI, and that could be done at bind time with a notifier.  The, in
that same notifier, if a TI-SCI ID exists, it would get added to the
pm_domain.

Anyways, your original proposal is much preferred if it can work.  I'm
just throwing out another option because I really don't like one genpd
per device.
