This one is a little tricky - the controller itself (SPC) is accessed
via registers mapped by another driver (SCC) and have two completely
separate files. The SPC driver itself is not DT'ed, simply because it
doesn't have too, hence writing things the way I did.
I will ask the vexpress maintainers where they want to see this code
going. Would you accept this binding as part of the existing
"arm,vexpress-sysreg" [1] or even "arm,vexpress-scc" [2]?
[1]. Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/vexpress-sysreg.txt
[2]. Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/vexpress-scc.txt

That is exactly how things are - one controller and two power domains.
Based on what the generic power domain code does #power-domain-cells
is the argument indicating what domain a device should be added to.

"power_domain.txt". As such I'm not exactly sure of what you'd like
to see modified - enlightenment would be appreciated.
