Hey Saravana,
Thanks for taking time to post out this series.

This was already removed as a part of ^^ and is in linux-next.

I expect the series to not work as is in its current state since I
see a circular dependency here. The required-opp tables of the parent
devfreq won't be populated until we add the opp-table of the child 
devfreq node while the child devfreq using passive governor would
return -EPROBE_DEFER until the parent devfreq probes.

The same applies to this patch -> https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch
/11046147/ I posted out based on your series. So we would probably have
to address the dependency here.
