Rob, I wonder if it is better to represent this as exclusive power domain or shared power domain - because that is what the firmware in effect makes OS think the hardware is? Two power domain nodes in dts, instead of introducing property as part of cells? Device may belong to a shared domain or an exclusive domain depending on the SoC variations. -- Regards, Nishanth Menon
