This seems like a good and generic approach to describe that a PM
domain could have a parent. I would suggest to rename it, such it
reflects its a PM domain binding though.

So, maybe we can add this as a common DT binding for the generic PM
domain instead of having it as Exynos specific?

Kind regards
