Again, none of this matters. I'm documenting what is already in use
and an ABI, not what is correct. The time for correctness was when
this binding was added.

To move forward, how about something like this:

power-domains:
  description: Really there are 2 PDs, but some implementations
defined a single PD.
  minItems: 1
  items:
    - description: core
    - description: PMU

We unfortunately can't constrain this to Rockchip in the schema
because that specific information is in the parent node.

(kind of crappy descriptions too, but that's the amount of information I have.)

By testing the schema against the in tree .dts files. To date, no one
other than Rockchip has power-domains in the DWC3 node.
