&mdss doesn't vote on performance state. At least it does not on
msm/msm-next which I have at hand right now.
&mdss toggles mdss_gdsc, but does not assign any performance state.

On the other hand &mdss_mdp and &dsi0 clearly vote on mmcx's performance state.

Do you think that we should change that to:

rpmhpd_aggregate_corner(pd, max(pd->corner, 1)) ?

Or

rpmhpd_aggregate_corner(pd, max(pd->corner, pd->levels[1])) ?

Well, set_performance_state(0) means that "the device wouldn't
participate anymore to find the target performance state of the
genpd". Strictly speaking it does not specify whether it is ok to turn
it off or not. (like the regulator with the voltage set to 0V).
But I'd also like to hear a comment from Stephen here.
