Ok, will do.

Yes it's changed already like this after Tixy reported an issue.

Agreed.

While I tend to agree, I did this to keep it aligned with other SCPI
users(clocks, sensors,.. for example).

I assume remove compatible just from driver ? IMO, it doesn't make sense
to add power domain provider without a compatible.

OK, I can do that.

I am fine with that, just that it deviates from the approach taken in
other subsystems as I mentioned above.
