In v2 I got ack from Krzysztof but not adding it because of additional discussion about required property in v3. https://lore.kernel.org/r/029ba923-d13e-ea7c-018d-95e179dda2e5@xxxxxxxxxxIt was not entirely clear reading that whether the driver actually functions correctly if the property is omitted. Is it the case that if the property is omitted, and the power domain controller driver is enabled, that the dma controller will not operate correctly? If I am understanding correctly, it very much does sound like it should be listed as required, so: Acked-by: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
As was discussed there are 3 things here. One thing is if property is required from simple description point of view. In silicon there is own power domain for pretty much every IP separately. The second if driver is using it. The third if power domains are enabled in the kernel configuration.
On our SOC pretty much we should look at every dt binding and make power-domains, smmus, etc all required because they are there (it is not said how exactly described but HW have them).
And SOC basic setup for 2nd/3rd point above. By default they are enabled and power domain driver has capability to disable it to save power.
Thanks, Michal
