Right, so if you really want to just drop the performance vote, then with a
value of 0 for the performance state the call will reach to your genpd's
callback ->set_performance_state(). Just as dev_pm_opp_set_rate() accepts the
frequency to be 0, I would expect dev_pm_opp_set_rate() to accept opp argument
as NULL and in that case set voltage to 0 and do regulator_disable() as well.
Won't that work better than going for the lowest voltage ?
