I really don't want to design the code that way. Required OPPs don't
have anything to do with a genpd. Genpd is just one of the possible
use cases and I would like the code to reflect it, even if we don't
have any other users for this kind of stuff for now, but we surely
can. Just that those problems are solved differently for now. For
example, cache DVFS along with CPUs, etc.

And as I said earlier, it is entirely possible that the genpd OPP
table wants to configure few more things apart from just level, and
hence a full fledged set-opp is a better design choice.

That's why the API for setting required-opps was introduced, to make
it a central point of entry for all use cases where we want to attach
a device.
