Generic device tree binding is introduced to specify power domains of devices in their device tree nodes. Backwards compatibility with legacy Samsung-specific power domain bindings is provided, but for now the new code is not compiled when CONFIG_ARCH_EXYNOS is selected to avoid collision with legacy code. This will change as soon as Exynos power domain code gets converted to use the generic framework in further patch.

E.g. you have a PD which is represented by some programmable power supply, and within this domain smaller islands/domains that can be gated independently.
These are client-side bindings only, i.e. power domain providers and consumers. Registering power domains and relations between them are up to platform-specific code, e.g. power controller driver.
