It's not unreasonable to use regulators to model the domains (or as part
of modelling the domains, I'd imagine some systems will be able to do
things to regulators as a result of power domain actions).  So long as
the hookup which might affect other systems is done from SoC specific
code and doesn't impact other systems) there shouldn't be an issue from
a framework point of view.
