I've added Adam Ford who sent out some DT related patches [1] for the Renesas
variant of GX6250 and the GX6650 (another Series6XT GPU).

The Series6XT GPU models have differing numbers of power domains (either 2, 4 or
5). Whereas, the AXE GPUs have a single power domain, so I assume there should
be a related change here.

The GX6250 has two power domains (lets call them A and B). There's a constraint
that if domain B is powered then domain A must also be powered.

In patch 6 [2] it's setting the power domain to MT8173_POWER_DOMAIN_MFG, which I
believe corresponds to power domain B. I assume this works because the MTK power
controller driver is encoding the constraint above, meaning that when we disable
or enable MT8173_POWER_DOMAIN_MFG it's also disabling/enabling MT8173_POWER_DOMA
IN_MFG_2D (domain A).

Thanks
