Why not using just "power-domains = <&pd_top>"?
This is consistent with how clocks refer to their parent clocks.

This seems like a good and generic approach to describe that a PM
domain could have a parent. I would suggest to rename it, such it
reflects its a PM domain binding though.

I am not sure if this is generic. I guess PD's represented like below
are more generic.
PD1 {
        PD2 {
                PD3 {
                };
        };
};

Such a representation is not always possible.
If you have one power-controller for a hierarchy of PM domains, you can
use it.
If you have multiple power-controllers, the power controller nodes are at the
same level in DT, so you'll have to use "power-domains" properties to link
them together.
