This almost sounds as if the bindings should mark the GX power domain
as optional?  The driver can function without it but doesn't get all
the features?  As the binding is written right now I think it is
"invalid" to not specify a a GX power domain and once the yaml
conversion is done then it will even be flagged as an error.  That's
going to make it harder to land the your patch...

What breaks today if you add in the GX power domain here?

Oh, I see.  It's not even provided by the 'gpucc-sc7180.c' file.  What
happens if you do this for now:

  power-domains = <&gpucc CX_GDSC>, <0>;
  power-domain-names = "cx", "gx";

That seems to be the trendy thing to do if a phandle to something is
"required" but the code isn't ready for it.
