Why not just make the PMMC node be the power-domain provider itself? If 
not that, then make this a child node of it. The same comment applies to 
all the SCI functions, but I guess I've already acked some of them. 

I really don't like reviewing all these TI SCI bindings one by one. Each 
one on its own seems fine, but I don't see the full picture.
