If the consumers don't need the capability of switching to different
domain performance states at runtime, then they can simply define their
required domain performance state in their nodes directly.

But if the device needs the capability of switching to different domain
performance states, as they may need to support different clock rates,
then the per OPP node can be used to contain that information.

This patch introduces the domain-performance-state (already defined by
Power Domain bindings) to the per OPP node.

We already have OPP voltages, why are those not sufficient?

Thinking about this some more, there's a problem here that you have no 
link to foo_domain. I guess that resides in the cpu's node?

Perhaps instead of a number, this should be a phandle to pstate@1. Then 
you just get the parent if you need to know the domain.

Those are for the regulator that ONLY controls the device, and
domain-performance-state belongs to the parent domain which controls many
devices.

Right, the "cpus" node below demonstrates that.

That's what I did in V2, but then I turned it down considering the parent/child
relationships we may have.

There are multiple cases we can have:

A.) DeviceX  --->  Parent-domain-1 (Contains Perfomance states)

B.) DeviceX  --->  Parent-domain-1  ---> Parent domain-2 (Contains Perfomance states)

                                    ---> Parent domain-2 (Contains Perfomance states)
                                    |
                                    |
C.) DeviceX  --->  Parent-domain-1  |
                                    |
                                    |
                                    ---> Parent domain-3 (Contains Perfomance states)


The case A.) represents a simple case where the parent domain of the device
contains the performance states. The phandle can work pretty well in this case.
But the other cases B.) and C.) are a bit complicated as the direct parent
domain doesn't allow changing the performance states, but its parents. And so I
went ahead with numbers instead of phandles. Yes, we will still be able to get
to the performance state node with the help of phandles, but will that be the
right thing to do ?

I'm a bit confused. How does a domain have 2 parent domains?

You have the same problem either way. If I have performance state 2
for the device, that corresponds to domain 2 or 3?

This comes from the early design of the generic PM domain, thus I
assume we have some HW with such complex PM topology. However, I don't
know if it is actually being used.

Moreover, the corresponding DT bindings for "power-domains" parents,
can easily be extended to cover more than one parent. See more in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/power_domain.txt

Kind regards

I could easily see device having 2 power domains. For example a cpu
may have separate domains for RAM/caches and logic. And nesting of
power domains is certainly common, but a power domain being contained
in 2 different parents? I don't even see how that is possible in the
physical design. Now if we're mixing PM and power domains again and
the cpu device is pointing to the cpu PM domain which contains 2 power
domains, then certainly that is possible.
