+* Generic PM domains
+
+System on chip designs are often divided into multiple PM domains that can be
+used for power gating of selected IP blocks for power saving by reduced leakage
+current.
+
+This device tree binding can be used to bind PM domain consumer devices with
+their PM domains provided by PM domain providers. A PM domain provider can be
+represented by any node in the device tree and can provide one or more PM
+domains. A consumer node can refer to the provider by a phandle and a set of
+phandle arguments (so called PM domain specifiers) of length specified by the
+#power-domain-cells property in the PM domain provider node.
+
+==PM domain providers==
+
+Required properties:
+ - #power-domain-cells : Number of cells in a PM domain specifier;
+ Typically 0 for nodes representing a single PM domain and 1 for nodes
+ providing multiple PM domains (e.g. power controllers), but can be any value
+ as specified by device tree binding documentation of particular provider.
+
+Optional properties:
+ - power-domains : A phandle and PM domain specifier as defined by bindings of
+ the power controller specified by phandle.
+ Some power domains might be powered from another power domain (or have
+ other hardware specific dependencies). For representing such dependency
+ a standard PM domain consumer binding is used. When provided, all domains
+ created by the given provider should be subdomains of the domain
+ specified by this binding. More details about power domain specifier are
+ available in the next section.
+
+- domain-idle-states : A phandle of an idle-state that shall be soaked into a
+ generic domain power state. The idle state definitions are
+ compatible with domain-idle-state specified in [1]. phandles
+ that are not compatible with domain-idle-state will be
+ ignored.
+ The domain-idle-state property reflects the idle state of this PM domain and
+ not the idle states of the devices or sub-domains in the PM domain. Devices
+ and sub-domains have their own idle-states independent of the parent
+ domain's idle states. In the absence of this property, the domain would be
+ considered as capable of being powered-on or powered-off.
+
+- operating-points-v2 : Phandles to the OPP tables of power domains provided by
+ a power domain provider. If the provider provides a single power domain only
+ or all the power domains provided by the provider have identical OPP tables,
+ then this shall contain a single phandle. Refer to ../opp/opp.txt for more
+ information.
+
+Example:
+
+ power: power-controller@12340000 {
+ compatible = "foo,power-controller";
+ reg = <0x12340000 0x1000>;
+ #power-domain-cells = <1>;
+ };
+
+The node above defines a power controller that is a PM domain provider and
+expects one cell as its phandle argument.
+
+Example 2:
+
+ parent: power-controller@12340000 {
+ compatible = "foo,power-controller";
+ reg = <0x12340000 0x1000>;
+ #power-domain-cells = <1>;
+ };
+
+ child: power-controller@12341000 {
+ compatible = "foo,power-controller";
+ reg = <0x12341000 0x1000>;
+ power-domains = <&parent 0>;
+ #power-domain-cells = <1>;
+ };
+
+The nodes above define two power controllers: 'parent' and 'child'.
+Domains created by the 'child' power controller are subdomains of '0' power
+domain provided by the 'parent' power controller.
+
+Example 3:
+ parent: power-controller@12340000 {
+ compatible = "foo,power-controller";
+ reg = <0x12340000 0x1000>;
+ #power-domain-cells = <0>;
+ domain-idle-states = <&DOMAIN_RET>, <&DOMAIN_PWR_DN>;
+ };
+
+ child: power-controller@12341000 {
+ compatible = "foo,power-controller";
+ reg = <0x12341000 0x1000>;
+ power-domains = <&parent>;
+ #power-domain-cells = <0>;
+ domain-idle-states = <&DOMAIN_PWR_DN>;
+ };
+
+ DOMAIN_RET: state@0 {
+ compatible = "domain-idle-state";
+ reg = <0x0>;
+ entry-latency-us = <1000>;
+ exit-latency-us = <2000>;
+ min-residency-us = <10000>;
+ };
+
+ DOMAIN_PWR_DN: state@1 {
+ compatible = "domain-idle-state";
+ reg = <0x1>;
+ entry-latency-us = <5000>;
+ exit-latency-us = <8000>;
+ min-residency-us = <7000>;
+ };
+
+==PM domain consumers==
+
+Required properties:
+ - power-domains : A list of PM domain specifiers, as defined by bindings of
+ the power controller that is the PM domain provider.
+
+Optional properties:
+ - power-domain-names : A list of power domain name strings sorted in the same
+ order as the power-domains property. Consumers drivers will use
+ power-domain-names to match power domains with power-domains
+ specifiers.
+
+Example:
+
+ leaky-device@12350000 {
+ compatible = "foo,i-leak-current";
+ reg = <0x12350000 0x1000>;
+ power-domains = <&power 0>;
+ power-domain-names = "io";
+ };
+
+ leaky-device@12351000 {
+ compatible = "foo,i-leak-current";
+ reg = <0x12351000 0x1000>;
+ power-domains = <&power 0>, <&power 1> ;
+ power-domain-names = "io", "clk";
+ };
+
+The first example above defines a typical PM domain consumer device, which is
+located inside a PM domain with index 0 of a power controller represented by a
+node with the label "power".
+In the second example the consumer device are partitioned across two PM domains,
+the first with index 0 and the second with index 1, of a power controller that
+is represented by a node with the label "power".
+
+Optional properties:
+- required-opps: This contains phandle to an OPP node in another device's OPP
+ table. It may contain an array of phandles, where each phandle points to an
+ OPP of a different device. It should not contain multiple phandles to the OPP
+ nodes in the same OPP table. This specifies the minimum required OPP of the
+ device(s), whose OPP's phandle is present in this property, for the
+ functioning of the current device at the current OPP (where this property is
+ present).
+
+Example:
+- OPP table for domain provider that provides two domains.
+
+ domain0_opp_table: opp-table0 {
+ compatible = "operating-points-v2";
+
+ domain0_opp_0: opp-1000000000 {
+ opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <1000000000>;
+ opp-microvolt = <975000 970000 985000>;
+ };
+ domain0_opp_1: opp-1100000000 {
+ opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <1100000000>;
+ opp-microvolt = <1000000 980000 1010000>;
+ };
+ };
+
+ domain1_opp_table: opp-table1 {
+ compatible = "operating-points-v2";
+
+ domain1_opp_0: opp-1200000000 {
+ opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <1200000000>;
+ opp-microvolt = <975000 970000 985000>;
+ };
+ domain1_opp_1: opp-1300000000 {
+ opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <1300000000>;
+ opp-microvolt = <1000000 980000 1010000>;
+ };
+ };
+
+ power: power-controller@12340000 {
+ compatible = "foo,power-controller";
+ reg = <0x12340000 0x1000>;
+ #power-domain-cells = <1>;
