I checked this with Taniya offline, but she prefers only fixing it in ipq6018.dtsi as it doesn't hurt anything by adding the property, and she expects the GDSC support should be existing in most of qcom,gcc drivers especially the newer Qcom chipsets.

I would assume '#power-domain-cells' is only required for drivers which 
register GDSC as power-domain device, for drivers that only configure 
GDSC during probe or for platforms have GDSC but not register them as 
power-domain device, making '#power-domain-cells' as a required property 
doesn't help anything but just generating more dtbs check warnings.
