[PATCH 1/2] PM / Domains: Introduce domain-performance-state binding

[Viresh Kumar]

Some platforms have the capability to configure the performance state of
their Power Domains. The performance levels are represented by positive
integer values, a lower value represents lower performance state.

The power-domains until now were only concentrating on the idle state
management of the device and this needs to change in order to reuse the
infrastructure of power domains for active state management.

This patch introduces a new optional property for the consumers of the
power-domains: domain-performance-state.

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 node directly. Otherwise the
consumers can define their requirements with help of other
infrastructure, for example the OPP table.
