Well, if you're not using genpd to model hardware power domain
dependencies, then yes you'll definitely need a different solution.

And, as we discussed on IRC.  If you only care about timers, and genpd
is not in use, then $SUBJECT series is a fine approach, and I have no
objections.  But for SoCs where there are several other things that
share power with CPU, we need a more generic, genpd based solution,
which it seems we're in agreement on.  And since the two approaches
are not mutually exclusive, then I have real objections to applying
this series.
