Interconnects are not parents of devices, so I still don't get why do
you bring it here.

There is no interconnect-cells there, so why do we talk about
interconnect here?

So if OS does not have runtime PM, the bindings are wrong? Bindings
should not depend on some particular feature of some particular OS.
