Will, I prefer to check always-on field under PMU node to check
whether we need Save/restore them.

But how do you handle it for different idle states. e.g. if CPU is in
retention, PMU's *might be* retained. Also I don't think PMUs will be
placed in "always-on" power domain like timers. So using "always-on"
sounds incorrect to me.

Adding Mathieu to CC, since I spoke to him at LPC about this and he was
talking about implementing proper PM domain descriptions for coresight
components.

Will is correct - it's in the pipeline now.  Just hang tight.
