+Qualcomm Technologies system power domain
+-----------------------------------------
+
+System pm domain handles the tasks that need to be performed during application
+processor deeper low power mode entry for QCOM SoCs which have hardened IP blocks
+combinedly called as RPMH (Resource Power Manager Hardened) for shared resource
+management. Flushing the buffered requests to TCS (Triggered Command Set) in RSC
+(Resource State Coordinator) and programming the wakeup timer in PDC (Power
+Domain Controller) for timer based wakeup are handled as part of domain power
+down.
+
+The bindings for System PM domain is specified in the RSC section in devicetree.
+
+Properties:
+- compatible:
+	Usage: required
+	Value type: <string>
+	Definition: must be "qcom,system-pm-domain".
+
+- #power-domain-cells: number of cells in power domain specifier;
+    must be 0.
+
+Node of a device using power domains must have a power-domains property
+defined with a phandle to respective power domain.
+
+Example:
+
+	apps_rsc: rsc@179c0000 {
+		[...]
+		system_pd: system-power-domain {
+			compatible = "qcom,system-pm";
+            #power-domain-cells = <0>;

I don't understand why this is split from "qcom,cpu-pm-domain". Just
make the parent (RSC) a power domain provider with multiple domains. As
long as each domain doesn't have its own resources, you don't need child
nodes here.

Hi Rob,

Since the patch had cc:devicetree, it was unintentionally posted in mailing list. Sorry about that and please ignore this one. The intended version is posted as https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/11/28 The power down activities are handled by top level rpmh layer[1] which are not core functions of RSC driver. Though it is doable, it would be messy to invoke calls to top level rpmh layer by declaring RSC parent node itself as power domain provider.

Thanks,
