From 7c6b0892b0c5009d5eb8715070a18862f18d7df5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ulf Hansson Date: Wed, 17 Mar 2021 10:31:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] firmware: imx: scu-pd: Update comments for single global power domain Since the introduction of the PM domain support for the scu-pd, the genpd framework has been continuously improved. More preciously, using a single global power domain can quite easily be deployed for imx platforms. To avoid confusions, let's therefore make an update to the comments about the missing pieces.
