Okay. Unless someone explicitly disagrees, I'm fine with doing this
stand-alone from the DPHY drivers.

This makes it a child-node right? I think Rob already said no to that in
and earlier revision of this series. What he meant the other day was
making the syscon itself a power domain controller, since the child node
has no meaningful properties (reg, interrupts etc).
