Subject[PATCH] ARM: gic: Document Power and Clock Domain optional properties
Date
On some SoCs, the GIC may be part of a PM Domain (hardware Power and/or
Clock Domain). Document the related optional DT properties.

Note: As the current GIC driver doesn't support Runtime PM yet, PM
Domain constraints must be handled elsewhere in e.g. platform code.

Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be>
---
To preserve DT stability, we would like to add these properties to the
affected shmobile dtsi files.
