Okay. Then it makes sense that I still accessing UART and SDHC when I
turn off the power.
In you patch you had SDHC, USB, DSI. Are you sure that SDHC power domain
has any effect, because I don't see any effect and can still access the
sd card.
I using "... firmware from 2015-10-28 17:06".
I would add the power-domains where we have currently an use-case for it
and this USB at the moment. Is this okay for you?
