PM QoS device latencies are properties of the hardware. Let's define some
DT bindings for them.

The names are a bit Linux specific, but I don't have a better 
suggestion. Could be power-up/down, but then you may have other 
latencies such as link up times.

Whatever we end up with, add a unit suffix (-ns).

Shouldn't this be split into latency of the domain (and in the domain's 
node) and latency of the device?

Okay.

Yes! $Subject patch only takes device latencies into account.

Perhaps what you mean is that we should document device PM QoS
latencies in another place than
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/power_domain.txt as well?

Regarding bindings for the domain latencies, I will post that as a
separate patch soonish.

Kind regards

Okay, will a new file,
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/device_qos.txt make sense for
you?

Well, unless you insist, I would rather look at this first.

The domain latencies might be a bit more complex and those shouldn't
affect how we describe device latencies, or you think so?

Kind regards

Probably not, but I was thinking at least property names would be 
common. Besides power domains, any external component can add latencies. 
For example, what's the latency for a display (subsystem) when you have 
display controller, phy, external bridge and panel? What I don't want to 
see in DT are people doing some simple latency that's added up all the 
components and then coming back later and saying they need to change it 
to be more fine grained and distributed to each component.
