It may not be equal, as dev_pm_opp_set_rate() may do additional stuff,
now or in a later implementation. Currently it only does
regulator_enable() as a special case, but it can be clk_enable() as
well. Also, this tries to solve the problem in a tricky/hacky way,
while all you wanted was to make the genpd aware of what the
performance state should be.

Your driver can break tomorrow if we started to do more stuff from
this API at another time.

Right.

The driver should just be required to make a call, and OPP/genpd core
should return it a value. This is already done today while setting the
pstate for a device. The same frameworks must be able to supply a
value to be used for the device.

I looked into this and looked like too much trouble. The
implementation needs to be simple. I am not sure I understand all the
problems you faced while doing that, would be better to start with a
simpler implementation of get_performance_state() kind of API for
genpd, after the domain is attached and its OPP table is initialized.

Note, that the OPP table isn't required to be fully initialized for
the device at this point, we can parse the DT as well if needed be.
