Hmm, I can see potential benefits of such construct on platforms with 
clear hierarchy of devices, but to make sure I'm getting it correctly, 
is the following what you have in mind?

soc-domain-x@...40000 {
	compatible = "...";
	reg = <...>;
	power-domain-parent = <&power_domains DOMAIN_X>;

	device@...0 {
		compatible = "...";
		// inherits power-domain = <&power_domains DOMAIN_X>
	};

	device@...0 {
		compatible = "...";
		// inherits power-domain = <&power_domains DOMAIN_X>
	};
};

Best regards,
Tomasz
