User may not want to use all the TCMs. For example, if users want to turn-on only TCM-A and rest of them want to keep off, then

they can avoid having power-domains of other TCMs in the device-tree. This helps with less power-consumption when needed.

Hence flexible list of power-domains list.

I can certainly mention "items:" under power-domains property.

Okay. But minItems will be still what's mentioned above i.e. 2.

I hope it's fine.
