No, it's called the PHY power domain, as that is probably the part that
draws the most power, but the PCIe core also looses it's state when this
domain is powered down. So it's probably the complete core that is
inside this domain.

The resets on anything before i.MX7 are not in a separate reset driver,
but are just some signals from the PCIe core wired into a syscon (IOMUX
GPR) area. While we could invent a reset controller for those, I don't
see how this would improve things. Especially as the reset on i.MX6
seems to be some side-effect of the "power-down" signal of the core, so
not strictly a reset.

Also I don't see why we should change the binding for the driver with a
long history of deployed DTs. That seems like a total waste of manpower.
