Yes - and that would be weird, especially since the PM domain (genpd)
is already managing the aggregation and propagation to parent domains.
I guess I got a bit confused by the commit message for patch2/2, where
it sounded like you were striving towards introducing recursive calls
to set OPPs. Having a closer look, I realize that isn't the case,
which I think makes sense.

Yes, it seems better to fail earlier during the OF parsing of the
required-opps or when adding an OPP dynamically. In that way, the
WARN_ON above could be removed.
That said, sorry for the noise and either way, feel free to add (for
$subject patch):
