Hi again... Having acc-v2 as power-controller would require to set
#power-domain-cells = <0>;

Would that be acceptable? Considering it wouldn't expose any PM domain?

About kpss-gcc we have some device that for some reason doesn't have the
required clocks defined in the dts. I checked the related gcc and no PXO
defined and no pll8_vote clock defined. (the affected dts are all listed
in the related Documentation)

No idea how they currently work with the kpss-gcc driver as these
parents are missing. Guess the driver just fails to probe?
So this was the question if you had more info about it... since to me it
seems just another gcc v2 that doesn't expose clocks but it's just a
power-controller just like acc-v2.
