I don't see an opp-table involved, just the required-opps for the
purpose of turning CX on a little bit more. Perhaps I'm missing
something here though.

Having the performance_state request cascade up through the GDSC sounds
like a nice solution; I've not looked at the code to see if this is
feasible though.

I suspect this would be useful if a power-domain provider needs to
translate a performance_state into a different supply-performance_state.
Not sure if we have such case currently; these examples are all an
adjustable power-domain with "gating" subdomains.


PS. I think we have the same problem in the display subsystem, the
sub-blocks are powered by MDSS_GDSC, which is a subdomain of MMCX. We
trust the parent mdss node to keep the GDSC powered and specify MMCX as
the power-domain for the children, so that we can affect their levels by
respective opp-table.

Bjorn
