Ok, I was suspecting something like that and your explanation makes 
total sense to me.

Ok. I was hoping that GPU support could be added without power domain 
control, but I now see that this is probably not reasonable at all.
So I will keep on hoping that NXP comes up with an upstreamable solution 
for the power domain handling.
