The Tegra124/210 XUSB subsystem (that consists of both host and device
controllers) is partitioned across 3 PM domains which are:
- XUSBA: Superspeed logic (for USB 3.0)
- XUSBB: Device controller
- XUSBC: Host controller

These power domains are not nested and can be powered-up and down
independently of one another. In practice different scenarios require
different combinations of the power domains, for example:
- Superspeed host: XUSBA and XUSBC
- Superspeed device: XUSBA and XUSBB

Although it could be possible to logically nest both the XUSBB and XUSBC
domains under the XUSBA, superspeed may not always be used/required and
so this would keep it on unnecessarily.
Hey Jon, so does this RFC provide a way to just specify multiple Powerdomains
for a device (which then will *all* be powered on/off together) or does
it also provide for more granular control of these powerdomains?
The above statement seems to suggest you would need more granular control
of these powerdomains (like keeping XUSBA off in case superspeed it not
needed) but I can't seem to figure out how you achieve it with this series.
