Thanks for your patch!

A list of PM domain specifiers?

(A PM domain specifier consists of a phandle, and zero or more indices)

I know it's just an example, but this uses the same unit-address and
reg property
as the device node above.

There's a similar issue with the two other examples below, but they
use different
node names (leaky-device0 and leaky-device1).
