Isn't the power domain abstraction a neat idea exactly for the above
case? Generic code just asks for the domain it needs and doesn't care
how it maps to power wells on the given platform. So for transcoder_edp
+pipe_a it'd end up asking for POWER_DOMAIN_PIPE_A and
POWER_DOMAIN_TRANSCODER_EDP, both of which is a nop on HSW, and for the
other case POWER_DOMAIN_PIPE_A and POWER_DOMAIN_TRANSCODER_A which would
enable the power well. You also have the POWER_DOMAIN_PIPE,
POWER_DOMAIN_TRANSCODER, POWER_DOMAIN_PIPE_PANEL_FITTER helpers already.
