right, Rob mentioned this too, I will move it in v4.

I will, I wasn't sure its okay to reference a kernel include file in a DT
binding documentation. But looking around it seems like its common practice.

d'oh! I just keep getting this wrong.

Oops, looks like I accidentally dropped it in v3 :(

I can add an example consumer with a power-domains property pointing to
the phandle and index (as is general practice)

For specifying the power domain levels, I am not quite sure what the approach
we would use. One way is for consumers to use OPP bindings, but that wasn't
liked by some and we now have plans to stuff it all within the clock driver code.
In which case I expect we would just maintain internal mapping tables for clock
frequencies/power domain levels so nothing comes in from DT, or maybe it will
come in from DT, i just don't know.

I can certainly describe the OPP way a consumer could map to a power domain level,
but I am not sure how the clock bindings if any would be at this point to handle this.

regards,
Rajendra
