Here and in your other binding you call these 'transfer' and 'core' but
all other bindings call them 'power' and 'perf'. Why this difference?
What are these domains responsible for?

Commit msg is pretty useless here - repeats the diff. I can read the
diff but I still do not understand why such naming.

And why core is not the first one? It clearly feels like the power
domain thus the main one.

Best regards,
