Freescale i.MX General Power Controller
=======================================

The i.MX6 General Power Control (GPC) block contains DVFS load tracking
counters and Power Gating Control (PGC).

Required properties:
- compatible: Should be one of the following:
  - fsl,imx6q-gpc
  - fsl,imx6qp-gpc
  - fsl,imx6sl-gpc
  - fsl,imx6sx-gpc
- reg: should be register base and length as documented in the
  datasheet
- interrupts: Should contain one interrupt specifier for the GPC interrupt
- clocks: Must contain an entry for each entry in clock-names.
  See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/clock-bindings.txt for details.
- clock-names: Must include the following entries:
  - ipg

The power domains are generic power domain providers as documented in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/power_domain.txt. They are described as
subnodes of the power gating controller 'pgc' node of the GPC and should
contain the following:

Required properties:
- reg: Must contain the DOMAIN_INDEX of this power domain
  The following DOMAIN_INDEX values are valid for i.MX6Q:
  ARM_DOMAIN     0
  PU_DOMAIN      1
  The following additional DOMAIN_INDEX value is valid for i.MX6SL:
  DISPLAY_DOMAIN 2
  The following additional DOMAIN_INDEX value is valid for i.MX6SX:
  PCI_DOMAIN     3

- #power-domain-cells: Should be 0

Optional properties:
- clocks: a number of phandles to clocks that need to be enabled during domain
  power-up sequencing to ensure reset propagation into devices located inside
  this power domain
- power-supply: a phandle to the regulator powering this domain

Example:

	gpc: gpc@20dc000 {
		compatible = "fsl,imx6q-gpc";
		reg = <0x020dc000 0x4000>;
		interrupts = <0 89 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
			     <0 90 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
		clocks = <&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_IPG>;
		clock-names = "ipg";

		pgc {
			#address-cells = <1>;
			#size-cells = <0>;

			power-domain@0 {
				reg = <0>;
				#power-domain-cells = <0>;
			};

			pd_pu: power-domain@1 {
				reg = <1>;
				#power-domain-cells = <0>;
				power-supply = <&reg_pu>;
				clocks = <&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_GPU3D_CORE>,
				         <&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_GPU3D_SHADER>,
				         <&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_GPU2D_CORE>,
				         <&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_GPU2D_AXI>,
				         <&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_OPENVG_AXI>,
				         <&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_VPU_AXI>;
			};
		};
	};


Specifying power domain for IP modules
======================================

IP cores belonging to a power domain should contain a 'power-domains' property
that is a phandle pointing to the power domain the device belongs to.

Example of a device that is part of the PU power domain:

	vpu: vpu@2040000 {
		reg = <0x02040000 0x3c000>;
		/* ... */
		power-domains = <&pd_pu>;
		/* ... */
	};
