It's somewhat unfortunate that this gives us two possible locations for
idle state lists (under the /cpus node and in a pm-domains node),
especially as it's not clear what would happen were a DT to have both.

I would prefer that we extend the existing bindings such that states can
refer to the power domains which they affect.
+==Power state==
+
+A PM domain power state describes an idle state of a domain and must be
+have the following properties -
+
+	- entry-latency-us
+		Usage: Not required if wakeup-latency-us is provided.
+		Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
+		Definition: u32 value representing worst case latency in
+		microseconds required to enter the idle state.
+		The exit-latency-us duration may be guaranteed
+		only after entry-latency-us has passed.
+
+	- exit-latency-us
+		Usage: Not required if wakeup-latency-us is provided.
+		Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
+		Definition: u32 value representing worst case latency
+		in microseconds required to exit the idle state.
These are part of the existing idle state binding
(Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/idle-states.txt), and I would
prefer that we did not duplicate this nor come up with an independent
set of idle state bindings.
+
+	- residency-us:
+		Usage: Optional
+		Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
+		Definition: A u32 value representing the time for which a
+		domain must be idle in the state to reap power saving benefits
+		of entering the state.
This is "min-residency-us" per the existing bindings.
+
+	- state-param:
+		Usage: Optional
+		Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
+		Definition: A u32 value as defined by the state. May be used
+		by the driver to hold state related u32 data. In the case of
+		PSCI, an extended state-id for the domain may be encoded in
+		this value.
This is "arm,psci-suspend-param", per the existing bindings.

Thanks,
Mark.
