Hi Rob,

Thank you for your answer. I have some doubts, see below.

But every power domain can use totally different clocks I.e in the scpsys
controller for MT8173 we can have:

clocks:
    items:
      - description: MMSYS reference clock
      - description: Video Encoder reference clock

That matches with:

+            power-domain at MT8173_POWER_DOMAIN_VENC {
+                reg = <MT8173_POWER_DOMAIN_VENC>;
+                clocks = <&topckgen CLK_TOP_MM_SEL>,
+                         <&topckgen CLK_TOP_VENC_SEL>;
+                clock-names = "mm", "venc";
+                #power-domain-cells = <0>;
+            };

But then we can have another power-domain (inside) with another clock.

+            power-domain at MT8173_POWER_DOMAIN_MFG_ASYNC {
+                reg = <MT8173_POWER_DOMAIN_MFG_ASYNC>;
+                clocks = <&clk26m>;
+                clock-names = "mfg";
+            };

Should we add a new item like this then?

      - description: 26MHz reference clock

But clocks will not match with the order for this power-domain (as MMSYS and
VENC clocks are missing here). AFAIK is not possible to specify different clocks
for different power-domains that are inside the SCPSYS power controller node.

For other SoCs we can have something more complex like this:

+	power-domain at MT8183_POWER_DOMAIN_CAM {
+		reg = <MT8183_POWER_DOMAIN_CAM>;
+		clocks = <&topckgen CLK_TOP_MUX_CAM>,
+			 <&camsys CLK_CAM_LARB6>,
+			 <&camsys CLK_CAM_LARB3>,
+			 <&camsys CLK_CAM_SENINF>,
+			 <&camsys CLK_CAM_CAMSV0>,
+			 <&camsys CLK_CAM_CAMSV1>,
+			 <&camsys CLK_CAM_CAMSV2>,
+			 <&camsys CLK_CAM_CCU>;
+		clock-names = "cam", "cam-0", "cam-1",
+			      "cam-2", "cam-3", "cam-4",
+			      "cam-5", "cam-6";
+		mediatek,infracfg = <&infracfg>;
+		mediatek,smi = <&smi_common>;
+		#power-domain-cells = <0>;
+	};

Thanks,
  Enric
