Skip this last paragraph - it is obvious in usage of power domains.
Specific bindings should not duplicate generic knowledge.

Ack, I'll drop it.

+properties:

Usually we call nodes as power-domain.

I had it as that originally, but these aren't power domains. These are power management domains (they can clock *and* power gate separately, where supported) plus also do reset management. So I wasn't sure if it was really fair calling them "power-domain" at that point.

+ power-domains:
+ description:

How many items?

One or more (if there are none the property should not exist). I guess that should be encoded.

+
+ apple,domain-name:

Use existing binding "label".

Ah, I'd missed that one! I'm glad there's an existing binding for this already.

Your parent schema should include this one for evaluating children.

Yup, I'll do it like that for v2.

Thanks!
