What "device-genpd" pair are you referring to?

This feels wrong, to me. Genpd is not a driver, but rather a
subsystem, hence I think it's a bad idea to "abuse" the driver data
pointer like this.

Instead, in genpd we store device specific data, through the
dev->power.subsys_data.

Seems like a better option is to extend the subsys_data, to also
include data needed to be shared for opp/performance states.

In that way, we might not even need to call into the opp library
(dev_pm_opp_set_required_device()) API, but rather the opp library can
itself check what is in the subsys_data for the device that is being
targeted. Would that work?

[...]

Kind regards
Uffe
