Hi Lina,

Sorry for the delay here, Sudeep and I were both been on holiday last week.

The not-yet-concluded discussion Sudeep is referring to is at [1].

In that thread we initially proposed the idea of, instead of splitting
state phandles between cpu-idle-states and domain-idle-states, putting
CPUs in their own domains and using domain-idle-states for _all_
phandles, deprecating cpu-idle-states. I've brought this up in other
threads [2] but discussion keeps petering out, and neither this example
nor the 8916 dtsi in this patch series reflect the idea.

It would be great if we could go back to the thread at [1] where Sudeep
has posted examples and come to a clear consensus on the binding design
before reviewing implementation patches. Ideally with input from Ulf,
Rob and Kevin.
