Multiple power domains need to be handled explicitly in each driver. The driver core can not handle it automatically since it is not aware of power sequencing requirements the hardware might have. This is not a problem for simpledrm since everything is expected to be powered on by the bootloader. simpledrm has just ensure it remains powered on during its lifetime. This is required on Apple silicon M2 and M2 Pro/Max/Ultra desktop systems. The HDMI output initialized by the bootloader requires keeping the display controller and a DP phy power domain on.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
