The aim of this patch was just to make the conversion without functional
changes wherever possible, i.e. maintain an equivalent to the existing
ARM behaviour of allocating its own implicit domains for everything. It
doesn't represent any judgement of whether that was ever appropriate for
this driver in the first place ;)

Hopefully my other reply already covered the degree of control drivers
can have with proper default domains, but do shout if anything wasn't clear.

Cheers,
Robin.
