On the other hand I have just noticed that the apparently unrelated
Adaptive Voltage Scaling driver just appeared in drivers/power/avs.
So if Anton and David are ok with this, maybe I could put the power
sequences code in its own subdirectory within drivers/power.

Well, currently drivers/power/ is indeed just for power supply class
subsystem and drivers. But if the trend is to gather power management
("policy") stuff under one directory, i.e.

drivers/
  power/
    supplies/    <- former "power supply class and drivers"
    regulators/
    idle/
    cpuidle/
    cpufreq/
    devfreq/
    avs/
    ...

That would probably make sense, we could easily see the big picture.
But if we're not going to do this long-term,

Yes, we may do this eventually, but surely not right now.
