For T210, 64 bit, it is
 tegra210.dtsi:    pmc: pmc@0,7000e400 {

For T124, it is

pmc@7000e400

I like to keep the pmc driver as main interface and other sub 
functionalities like pad control for voltage and power states, no 
iopower control etc as sub drivers. This will help in modular approach 
of the driver.

We just support two values 1.8V and 3.3V only. I am fine with either way 
also.

Three states, enable, disable and left default. So absent will be left 
default.
