Let's wait and see...

I think you can have one power-controller, and add the clocks and
power-domains properties to the individual device nodes.

Then the power-controller driver can use the attach callback
introduced in "[PATCH/RFC v2 04/12] PM / Domains: Add genpd attach/detach
callbacks" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/16/429) to set up the clocks?
