The Keystone PM domain code actually doesn't have to be under machine
code. Infact my first patch I added that under drivers/bus/ and later
based on Kevin's suggestion moved under machine. That time the Keystone
64 bit arch point I couldn't bring up for other reasons.

But the code itself can be easily moved to drivers/power/ without
any issue if thats what is the concern here.
