ZynqMP Power domain driver has node-ids defines under pd-id properties.(RFC patch below)
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10150683/
Individual driver can have phandle to it.
For example,
power-domains {
pd_xx: pd_xx {
#power-domain-cells = <0x0>;
pd-id = <0x7>;
};
pd_yy: pd_yy {
#power-domain-cells = <0x0>;
pd-id = <0xf>;
};
};
device: dev at ffe00000 {
compatible = "dev";
reg = <0x0 0xFFE00000 0x0 0x20000>;
pd-handle = <&pd_xx>;
};

This is just an interface driver. There is a separate pinctrl and clock driver who will use these APIs to communicate with PMU(Platform Management Unit). Those driver has required DT nodes and bindings to use these APIs.
For example, Clock driver bindings are mentioned below:
