This looks like just a gathering of properties and way to instantiate
some driver.
I think this all belongs in the power domain provider. Make it a cooling
device and you should know which domains are relevant based on the
compatible (though perhaps we could consider a list in DT). If you want
to instantiate a separate driver to handle this, then make the power
domain driver do that.
