Earlier we used to call handle->perf_ops->device_opps_add() and
dev_pm_opp_set_sharing_cpus() before calling dev_pm_opp_get_opp_count(), why is
the order changed now ?

I am not sure why they would be duplicated in your case. I though
device_opps_add() is responsible for dynamically adding the OPPs here.

What if the count is still 0 ? What about deferred probe we were doing earlier ?
