Is't #powerdomain-cells a powerdomain provider property? and used to
specify if a powerdomain provider supports providing 1 or many powerdomains?
I was talking about the power domain consumer property.
Looking at Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/power_domain.txt..
==PM domain consumers==
Required properties:
- power-domains : A phandle and PM domain specifier as defined by bindings of
the power controller specified by phandle.
It clearly says 'A phandle'. If there was a way to specify multiple
power-domains
for a consumer device should it not be saying a list of phandles? Like we do for
clocks and regulators?
