With my Naming Purist (TM) hat on, I must point out that there is no
such thing as TC2... The platform you're referring to is V2P-CA15_A7.
TC2 is just an internal name for the chip (as in: Test Chip 2, which
followed 1 and was supposed to be followed by 3 ;-). And considering the
fact that substantial part of the power management system lives outside
of the main chip anyway, the naming is not really precise.

Now, I appreciate that "v2p_ca15_a7_" namespace is a bit cumbersome
comparing to "tc2_" and no, I don't really have better ideas now...

Other than that:
