May I ask how this is different from saying something like: required-opps = <&??>, <&rpmpd_opp_svs>;and maybe this was already discussed further elsewhere. But I think at the very least we need some clarification in the commit message + the binding documentation how your new property relates to the existing "required-opps" binding. Because even if it might not be implemented at the moment, Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/power_domain.txt actually also specifies "required-opps" for device nodes e.g. with the following example: leaky-device0@12350000 { compatible = "foo,i-leak-current"; reg = <0x12350000 0x1000>; power-domains = <&power 0>; required-opps = <&domain0_opp_0>; }; It looks like Viresh added that in commit e856f078bcf1 ("OPP: Introduce "required-opp" property"). And in general I think it's a bit inconsistent that we usually refer to performance states with phandles into the OPP table, but the assigned-performance-states suddenly use "raw numbers".
I must have missed that discussion, sorry about that. The required-opps property, when present in device's node directly, is about the (default) OPPs to choose for that device's normal functioning as they may not do DVFS. Good point Stephan. -- viresh
