Because driver is used by other Xilinx/AMD SOCs but pmufw is only ZynqMP 
specific firmware. Newer one are using PLM.

Not quite sure I am following you.
zynqmp_power_domain is bind from zynqmp-firmware bind method.
And both of these drivers are based on driver model.

The same technique is used in Linux kernel.

We can definitely talk if zynqmp_firmware_bind() is the right location when 
power domain should be bound but not likely an issue.

Or maybe you see there another issue. Definitely happy to get to more details.

Thanks,
Michal
