+/**
+ * A power domain is a portion of an SoC or chip that is powered by a
+ * switchable source of power. In many cases, software has control over the
+ * power domain, and can turn the power source on or off. This is typically
+ * done to save power by powering off unused devices, or to enable software
+ * sequencing of initial powerup at boot. This API provides a means for
+ * drivers to turn power domains on and off.
+ *
+ * A driver that implements UCLASS_POWER_DOMAIN is a power domain controller or
+ * provider. A controller will often implement multiple separate power domains,
+ * since the hardware it manages often has this capability.
+ * power-domain-uclass.h describes the interface which power domain controllers
+ * must implement.
+ *
+ * Depending on the power domain controller hardware, changing the state of a
+ * power domain may require performing related operations on other resources.
+ * For example, some power domains may require certain clocks to be enabled
+ * whenever the power domain is powered on, or during the time when the power
+ * domain is transitioning state. These details are implementation-specific
+ * and should ideally be encapsulated entirely within the provider driver, or
+ * configured through mechanisms (e.g. device tree) that do not require client
+ * drivers to provide extra configuration information.
+ *
+ * Power domain consumers/clients are the drivers for HW modules within the
+ * power domain. This header file describes the API used by those drivers.
+ *
+ * In many cases, a single complex IO controller (e.g. a PCIe controller) will
+ * be the sole logic contained within a power domain. In such cases, it is
+ * logical for the relevant device driver to directly control that power
+ * domain. In other cases, multiple controllers, each with their own driver,
+ * may be contained in a single power domain. Any logic require to co-ordinate
+ * between drivers for these multiple controllers is beyond the scope of this
+ * API at present. Equally, this API does not define or implement any policy
+ * by which power domains are managed.

+ * struct power_domain - A handle to (allowing control of) a single power domain.
+ *
+ * Clients provide storage for power domain handles. The content of the
+ * structure is managed solely by the power domain API and power domain
+ * drivers. A power domain struct is initialized by "get"ing the power domain
+ * struct. The power domain struct is passed to all other power domain APIs to
+ * identify which power domain to operate upon.
+ *
+ * @dev: The device which implements the power domain.
+ * @id: The power domain ID within the provider.
+ *
+ * Currently, the power domain API assumes that a single integer ID is enough
+ * to identify and configure any power domain for any power domain provider. If
+ * this assumption becomes invalid in the future, the struct could be expanded
+ * to either (a) add more fields to allow power domain providers to store
+ * additional information, or (b) replace the id field with an opaque pointer,
+ * which the provider would dynamically allocate during its .of_xlate op, and
+ * process during is .request op. This may require the addition of an extra op
+ * to clean up the allocation.
