Why are these power domains instead of some QMP message sent during remote proc power up? If this has been discussed before feel free to disregard and please link to prior mailing list discussions. I find it odd that this is modeled as a power domain instead of some Qualcomm specific message that the remoteproc driver sends to AOSS. Is there some sort of benefit the driver gets from using the power domain APIs for this vs. using a custom API?
