Right, but that won't happen with the diff I shared earlier where we set
"forced" to true. Isn't it ?

Not separate paths, but ignore clk/regulator changes if the table belongs to a
genpd.

If they are using both for a genpd's OPP table (and changes are made for both
opp-level and clock by the OPP core), then it should already be wrong, isn't it?
Two simultaneous calls to dev_pm_opp_set_opp() would set the level correctly (as
aggregation happens in the genpd core), but clock setting would always reflect
the second caller. This should be fixed too, isn't it ?

I was terrified for a minute after reading this and the current code, as I also
thought there is an issue there. But I was confident that we used to take care
of this case separately earlier. A short dive into git logs got me to this:

commit 6d366d0e5446 ("OPP: Use _set_opp_level() for single genpd case")

This should be working just fine I guess.
