There's no interaction with the SCP on this patch.

There's no need to update the SCP firmware at all - the pmdomain driver
does not communicate with that - infact, you can keep using all of the
pmdomains without ever loading any SCP firmware from the kernel.

Thanks for the logs! Getting issues on MSDC is really odd because the MSDC
controller does *not* use nor have any power domain...

I'll take a look at this as soon as I can, anyway.

Thanks again,
