I should have sought more details on this feature before posting something.
Thanks for the detailed explanation of this feature,

So in order for this feature to work the final state should be *active*
for each power domain.

On Amlogic SBC, I think VDDAO_3V3 and VDDIO_AO1V8 share the power with
SD card and USB.
so can we add these as optional regulators to enable/disable within
the usb driver if needed?

I am facing some issues to fix the power on Odroid C1+ and C2 board as well.
