We currently see an influx of system-power-controller variants. While in the past it only was ti,system-power-controller
there is now already maxim,system-power-controller rockchip,system-power-controller
Romain's work would introduce "active-semi,system-power-controller", I have a "netronix,system-power-controller" sitting in some distant tree and there may be more already waiting somewhere.
So in the worst case I'd think you could expect such a property for every pmic-vendor in vendor-prefixes.txt ... as it seems to be a quite common use- case these days to have the pmic handle system power on its own.
