Is "old" the right word here?  Are there firmware versions that could be
used instead?  What happens when the firwmware is updated next time?

This seems a bit restrictive.

To me, it seems that determining "old" or "new" (or revision of fw
interface to use) should be described in DT, not hard-coded in the power
domain driver.

What about an additional DT property to describe that? or possibly
another cell in the domain which could be used to optionally set
old/legacy.
