Property '#power-domain-cells' is required as per defined in qcom,gcc.yaml
so add it for ipq6018 gcc device node to eliminate following warning in
dtbs_check:

arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/ipq6018-cp01-c1.dtb: gcc@1800000:
          '#power-domain-cells' is a required property
from schema $id: http://devicetree.org/schemas/clock/qcom,gcc-ipq6018.yaml#
But ipq6018 doesn't implement GDSC support. So for the sake of fixing
the warning you are adding a bogus property.

I agree. However, there are also some gcc drivers not implementing GDSC support but the bindings are adding '#power-domain-cells' in the DT example, such as: qcom,gcc-apq8064.yaml, qcom,gcc-ipq4019.yaml, qcom,gcc-ipq6018.yaml, qcom,gcc-ipq8064.yaml, qcom,gcc-msm8660.yaml.

Actually I thought that maybe we should do a clean up by removing '#power-domain-cells' out of the qcom,gcc.yaml binding and only adding it into individual qcom,gcc-xxx.yaml for the driver which has implemented GDSC support. I checked this with Taniya offline, but she prefers only fixing it in ipq6018.dtsi as it doesn't hurt anything by adding the property, and she expects the GDSC support should be existing in most of qcom,gcc drivers especially the newer Qcom chipsets.
Before we start changing anything, we should assess whether these
platforms actually have GDSCs within this clock controller block,
even if they are (currently) not described in the clk driver.
Hi,
IPQ6018 has GDSC-s, at least for the USB-s.
I tried configuring them a while ago, but the USB2.0 GDSC seems to either have a HW bug or
it uses some special configuration as its status bits never show that its ON [1].

Thanks for the link! I checked the spec internal, and I did see GDSC device for USB0/USB1 controller is present in GCC clock controller.
So considering there is a patch ongoing to add GDSC device for ipq6018 gcc driver, can the DT commit which adds '#power-domain-cells' be accepted?
