IMX Sound Open Firmware driver will immediately be available
to use this new API.
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/sound/soc/sof/imx/imx8.c#L221
Aside, from that there are the ACM clock modules for i.MX8QXP / i.MX8QM. Also,
looking at our internal tree there are XUVI, VPU, DPU drivers that need multi
power domain support.
Anson, Aisheng do you have a number of users on your side for
multi power domain?

daniel.
