Eg: the ISPs, VI and CSI share a domain. VI and CSI are useable without ISP and the ISP lacks public documentation. So it's not unlikely a VI and CSI driver will upstreamed someday which means we would need to control the domain and therefore would need to tell that driver about the ISPs clocks and resets even though the driver doesn't know anything about the ISP hw otherwise. > Do we actually have any case where unrelated modules are in the same > power domain /and/ there's some need for those drivers to manipulate the > power domain? > According to the TRM, the reset state of the power domains is undefined. While that seems unlikely, I do think the kernel should not assume any domain is on apart from the obvious ones (like the CPU domain it is running on), > BTW, any objections here should have been raised when the initial API > design for powergating was created.

I don't think the bindings need to be changed at all as long as the PMC driver can parse the relevant DT nodes to get the clock and reset information.
