So again the goal of this is to move the ti,sci-id value back to power-domains phandle instead of having a separate property, so that would be step one in the DT. Then in the power-domains node change #power-domain-cells to one. And then from there, the only change to the genpd framework is this: because genpd_xlate_simple only checks that the phandle is zero so that it can fail if it is not, but there's no functional reason it needs to do this. The genpd framework works as it did before no matter what the cells are set to if using of_genpd_add_provider_simple. Then in the attach_dev callback inside the ti_sci_pm_domains driver instead of doing ret = of_property_read_u32(np, "ti,sci-id", &idx); to read the ti,sc-id for a device into idx we can now do: ret = of_parse_phandle_with_args(np, "power-domains", "#power-domain-cells", 0, &pd_args); idx = pd_args.args[0]; or even simpler from within our driver ret = of_property_read_u32_index(np, "power-domains", 1, &idx); To read the value into idx. This requires minimal changes to the genpd framework and gives the option for the driver to interpret the cell manually when using a simple provider. The genpd framework still uses the phandle just to get the power-domain device and the cells are left entirely up to the driver to interpret, but if desired you could still use the genpd onecell driver for a specific use of the phandle cell, or use it with zero cells. I can send out an updated series if there are no major objections, or just to start discussion there.
