Thinking more about this above example, I think you need more
explanation. So in the above case you have cpu with clock controller,
power-domain and the OPP table info, I can think of few things that need
to be explicit:

1. How does the precedence look like ?

2. Since power-domains with OPP table control the performance state, do
   we ignore clock and operating-points-v2 in the above case completely?

3. Will the power-domain drive the OPP ?
