Not sure I get your point, sorry.
The CPU could very well be attached to more than one power-domain. Of
course not multiple "PSCI power-domains". One could be an PSCI power
domain and another one could be the QCOM CPR (Core power reduction)
power domain.
Have a look at these binding, there are already upstream, perhaps that
clarifies this?

According the QCOM CPR case, we need a way to distinguish what power
domain we should attach the CPU to. If we don't use power-domain-names
to do that, what else should we use?
