I think we need some input from the device-tree guys to see whether
they would object to us solving this locally (in the PMU node) or not.
Personally, I'd much prefer a general way to describe the need for
pm-notifiers, but if that's not being looked at then we can cook
something specifically for our needs.

No input from device-tree guys :(

The device tree bindings for power domains is under discussion [1]

Thanks for the information.
But it currently for device only, core related stuff are not supported.
And is it really good to register power provider for core and let vfp / pmu etc
to get it?

What's your suggestion about it?
Is it OK that I add it under the PMU node?
