As for patch 3, Ben objected to the sleep-nexus stuff on IRC.
Is sleep-nexus new?  I thought we've had that for a bit.
It's been around in a few dts files, but as was noted, nothing uses
this stuff yet.

So I should just drop the sleep-nexus changes? I can also
prepare a patch that removes sleep-nexus from 8313rdb.dts.
But how should we handle the sleep = <> properties then?

We could still have some sort of nexus node that is off to the side (pointed to with sleep-parent) and not inserting itself into the hierarchy.

Or, we could allow multiple nodes to refer to the same sleep ID, and use the ID rather than a node to tie things together. If we do that, we'll probably want a simple index rather than a set of bits in the sleep property, so it can correspond to some kernel object that has some bookeeping info. Perhaps we could tie into the clock bindings that were discussed on devtree-discuss in August.
