There are actually five power domains in total for MT8183 GPU.

There are 3 shader cores in MT8183.

They can be listed as following for each power domain:
1.MT8183_POWER_DOMAIN_MFG_ASYNC : SOC bus logic
2.MT8183_POWER_DOMAIN_MFG : GPU job manager & tiler
3.MT8183_POWER_DOMAIN_MFG_CORE0 : GPU shader core 0
4.MT8183_POWER_DOMAIN_MFG_CORE1 : GPU shader core 1
5.MT8183_POWER_DOMAIN_MFG_2D : GPU shader core 2

There are other power domain dependency can be reference in the
following link.

You can check the power domain dependencies as following
==========================================================
+static const struct scp_subdomain scp_subdomain_mt8183[] = {
+	{MT8183_POWER_DOMAIN_MFG_ASYNC, MT8183_POWER_DOMAIN_MFG},
+	{MT8183_POWER_DOMAIN_MFG, MT8183_POWER_DOMAIN_MFG_2D},
+	{MT8183_POWER_DOMAIN_MFG, MT8183_POWER_DOMAIN_MFG_CORE0},
+	{MT8183_POWER_DOMAIN_MFG, MT8183_POWER_DOMAIN_MFG_CORE1},
