In a device driver I want to set PD to the lowest performance state by
removing the performance vote when dev_pm_opp_set_rate(dev, 0) is
invoked by the driver.

The OPP core already does this, but if OPP levels don't start from 0 in
a device-tree for PD, then it currently doesn't work since there is a
need to get a rounded-up performance state because
dev_pm_opp_set_voltage() takes OPP entry for the argument (patches 9 and
28).

The PD powering off and performance-changes are separate from each other
in the GENPD core. The GENPD core automatically turns off domain when
all devices within the domain are suspended by system-suspend or RPM.

The performance state of a power domain is controlled solely by a device
driver. GENPD core only aggregates the performance requests, it doesn't
change the performance state of a domain by itself when device is
suspended or resumed, IIUC this is intentional. And I want to put domain
into lowest performance state when device is suspended.
