Sorry about that. Unfortunately [EXT] is inserted automatically and it is 
tedious and error-prone to remove it manually...

Sure, I can give (2) a shot. Which initcall needs to be modified? You have a 
diff snippet?
BTW: this potentially affects all imx8m and imx7d as they have the same gpc 
binding.

Can't say much about (1). I added Lucas Stach to recipients, he did a lot on 
this gpc driver.
@Lucas: Do you have some input why the gpc power domains do not have a 
compatible? Is it reasonable to add them?
