Subject: [PATCH v3 10/13] dt-bindings: power: Clarify performance capabilities of power-domains

The power-domains bindings has in many years been used to describe so
called performance-domains too. Rather than using a separate binding it has
been convenient to re-use the power-domain bindings, as in some cases it's
in fact a combination of the both that would be the best description.

Therefore, let's make it more clear that the power-domains bindings can be
used to describe a performance-domain too.
