-PM Domain Idle State Node:
-
-A domain idle state node represents the state parameters that will be used to
-select the state when there are no active components in the domain.
-
-The state node has the following parameters -
-
-- compatible:
-	Usage: Required
-	Value type: <string>
-	Definition: Must be "domain-idle-state".
-
-- entry-latency-us
-	Usage: Required
-	Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
-	Definition: u32 value representing worst case latency in
-		    microseconds required to enter the idle state.
-		    The exit-latency-us duration may be guaranteed
-		    only after entry-latency-us has passed.
-
-- exit-latency-us
-	Usage: Required
-	Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
-	Definition: u32 value representing worst case latency
-		    in microseconds required to exit the idle state.
-
-- min-residency-us
-	Usage: Required
-	Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
-	Definition: u32 value representing minimum residency duration
-		    in microseconds after which the idle state will yield
-		    power benefits after overcoming the overhead in entering
-i		    the idle state.
