This syscon child node represents a single SoC device controlled by the PMGR block. This layout allows us to declare all device power state controls (power/clock gating and reset) in the device tree, including dependencies, instead of hardcoding it into the driver. The register layout is uniform. Each pmgr-pwrstate node provides genpd and reset features, to be consumed by downstream device nodes. Future SoCs are expected to use backwards compatible registers, and the "apple,pmgr-pwrstate" represents any such interfaces (possibly with additional features gated by the more specific compatible), allowing them to be bound without driver updates. If a backwards incompatible change is introduced in future SoCs, it will require a new compatible, such as "apple,pmgr-pwrstate-v2".

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.
