Make set_performance_state() callback optional in order to remove the
need from power domain drivers to implement a dummy callback. If callback
isn't implemented by a GENPD driver, then the performance state is passed
to the parent domain.

Earlier in this routine we also have this:

if (!parent->set_performance_state)
        continue;

Should we change that too ?

I am not sure how many levels of domains we have normally, but unless the number
is big it won't be a very big problem.

What about a new field in the domain structure like 'can-handle-pstates', and
then whenever sub-domain gets added it just needs to check its parent's field
and set his own.

I think it would be better to fix the issue even if we aren't fully optimized
and making the change to make sure we keep propagating is rather important.

It depends on the SoC topology, so obviously it differs. But more than
a couple is unusual, I would say.

However, I think it may also depend on how many devices that are
hooked up to the domains and how actively these are being used.

That would work if the topology is built from top to bottom, but I
don't think we can rely on that.

For example, when a domain A is added as a child to domain B, domain B
doesn't have a parent yet (and the "can-handle-pstates" don't get set
for neither domain A or domain B). Next, domain B is added as child
domain to domain C. Domain C has the "can-handle-pstates" set, which
means domain B gets the "can-handle-pstates" set as well. This means
domain A, will not have "can-handle-pstates" set, while it probably
should have.

Alright, let's continue with Dmitry's patches and discuss this further
when v4 is out, as he seems to have it almost ready.

Kind regards

Okay, I missed that part.
