Re: [PATCH v2 2/3] dt-bindings: power: Add mediatek larb definition

Hello Yu-chang Lee,

SMI LARB must have a power domain, according to "mediatek,smi-larb.yaml"
Now you try to create a link from power domain to larb.

Here is my understanding: when you enable/disable power domain, the
larb linked to this power domain may have an issue. Then you want to
retrieve de LARB linked to the power domain though the dts to manage
the LARB. IMHO, using the dts to have this information into the power
driver isn't necessary and may introduce some bugs if the LARB node
and power node in the DTS aren't aligned.

It seems not implemented today but during the LARB probe, it should
"subscribe" to the linked power domain. Then, when the power domain
status is changing, it is able to "notify" (callback) the LARB, then
implement the good stuff to handle this power domain status change
into LARB driver.

Regards,
Alexandre
