I guess you are looking for this discussion

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.power-management.general/41053

and specifically Mark's remarks on PMU and DT in here

BTW, +1 for a single PMU node that either serves an mfd (or type

Looking at Dove FS, that would also include clock gating, which
could be a mess to sort out.. anyway, let's get it on.
