Maybe [4.0+]? but as you mentioned this patch has a dependency with
Patch "ARM: EXYNOS: Add missing of_node_put() when parsing power domain"
and it means this cannot be applied into stable tree...

So I'll apply this patch firstly then please re-submit them I've missed
before based on samsung tree. I think, it would be better...

Applied into fixes with resolving conflict.
