[RFC PATCH 0/1] PM / domains: Add support for virtual power domains

[Karol Wrona <k.wrona@samsung.com>]

Hello,

This patch adds virtual power domain handling.  Some comments are needed if
such approach has any sense.  The goal is to know the state of devices
residing in domain which is never gated or are gated only during sleep.
I.e. in Exynos3250 SoC there is one domain which is only put into retention
in LPD state and to enter it some devices (i.e. mmc host controller) have
to be inactive.  Using domains and runtime PM it would be able to give
an information to PM core that the SoC is ready for deeper power state.

TODO: binding doc, add child-parent hierarchy 

Thanks,
Karol
