Why not using just "power-domains = <&pd_top>"?
This is consistent with how clocks refer to their parent clocks.

Such a representation is not always possible.
If you have one power-controller for a hierarchy of PM domains, you can
use it.
If you have multiple power-controllers, the power controller nodes are at the
same level in DT, so you'll have to use "power-domains" properties to link
them together.
