How do we differentiate between two cases where the required-opps can
be defined as either of these:

required-opps = <&opp_pd_50, &opp_pd_51>; //corresponds to pd_perf1 and pd_perf0 (in reverse order)

OR

required-opps = <&opp_pd_51, &opp_pd_50>; //corresponds to pd_perf0 and pd_perf1

I thought this can't be fixed without some platform code telling how
the DT is really configured, i.e. order of the power domains in the
required-opps.
