To me, it seems reasonable to move to the new binding with
#power-domain-cells for protocol@13. This becomes more future proof,
as it can then easily be extended to be used beyond CPUs.

That said, I just submitted a patch [1] to update the examples in the
scmi DT doc to use  #power-domain-cells in favor of #clock-cells. I
don't know if there is a better way to promote the new bindings?
Perhaps moving Juno to use this too?

Kind regards
Uffe
