Are you confusing things, perhaps? DWC3, the block Synopsys licenses,
has, as Thinh confirmed, 2 internal power domains. How OEMs (TI, Intel,
Rockchip, Allwinner, etc) decide to integrate the IP into their systems
is something different. That is part of the (so-called)
wrapper. Different integrators will wrap Synopsys IP however they see
fit, as long as they can provide a suitable translation layer between
Synopsys own view of the world (its own interconnect implementation, of
which there are 3 to choose from, IIRC) and the rest of the SoC.

Perhaps what RK3399 did was provide a single power domain at the wrapper
level that feeds both of DWC3's own power domains, but DWC3 itself still
has 2 power domains, that's not something rockchip can change without
risking the loss of support from Synopsys, as it would not be Synopsys
IP anymore.

How did you come to this conclusion?

Heh
