its power enable by using a regulator.
The currently implemented PM domain providers are all specific to
a particular system on chip.
This series adds a PM domain provider driver which enables/disables
a regulator to control its power state. Additionally, marked with RFC,
it adds two commits which actually make use of the new driver to
instantiate a power domain provider and have a number of power
domain consumers use the power domain.
The perceived use case is to control a common power domain used by
several devices for which not all device drivers nessesarily have
a means to control a regulator.
It also handles the suspend / resume use case for such devices,
the generic power domain framework will disable the domain once the
last device has been suspend and will enable it again before resuming
the first device.
The generic power domain code handles a power domain consumer
generically outside of the driver's code. (assuming the 'power-domains'
property references exactly one power domain).
This allows to use the "regulator-pm-pd" driver with an arbitrary
device just by adding the 'power-domains' property to the devices
device tree node. However the device's dt-bindings schema likely does
not allow the property 'power-domains'.
One way to solve this would be to allow 'power-domains' globally
similarly how 'status' and other common properties are allowed as
implicit properties.
