I think the following is around the lines of your thought direction -
if Rafael or others have comments on the following approach, it'd be a
good starting point for me to progress.

Subject: [PATCH] PM / Runtime: introduce active power management callbacks
for pm_domain

dev_pm_domain currently handles just device idle power management
using the generic pm_runtime_get|put and related family of functions.

Logically with appropriate pm_domain hooks this can translate to
hardware specific clock and related operations. Given that pm_domains
may contain this information, this provides an opportunity to extend
current pm_runtime do dynamic power operations as well.

What this means for drivers is as follows:

Today, drivers(with some level of complexity) do:
pm_runtime_get_sync(dev);
clk = clk_get(dev, "name");
old_rate = clk_get_rate(clk);
...
clk_set_rate(clk, new_rate);
...
clk_put(clk);
pm_runtime_get_sync(dev);

Instead, on pm_domains that can handle this as part of
pm_domain->active_ops functions, They can now do the following:
pm_runtime_get_sync(dev);
old_rate = pm_runtime_get_rate(dev);
...
pm_runtime_set_rate(dev, new_rate);
...
pm_runtime_put_sync(dev);

Obviously, this'd work for devices that handle a single main
functional clock, but this could reduce complexity of drivers having
to deal with power management details to have pm_runtime as the main
point of interface.

CAVEAT: For power domains that are capable of handling multiple
clocks (example on OMAP, where there are the concepts of interface,
functional and optional clocks per block), appropriate handling will
be necessary from pm_domain callbacks. So, the question about which
clock rate is being controlled or returned to is entirely upto the
pm_domain implementation.

On the otherhand, we can debate about defining and querying ACPI style
"Performance state" instead of frequencies and wrap P-states inside
or the other way around.. but given that majority of drivers using
pm_runtime would rather be interested in frequencies and my naieve
belief that we can index P-states with frequencies, kind of influenced
my choice here of proposing frequencies as base query parameter..
ofcourse, debate is still open here.

Yes, we can still debate if providing yet another wrapper on top of
clock APIs makes sense at all as well.
