I suspect the problem is that it's not just "turn on" but wanting to
turn it on and then set the performance state to some value based on the
clk frequency. Maybe the simplest version of that could be supported
somehow by having dev_pm_opp_set_rate() figure out that the 'level'
applies to the parent power domain instead of the child one? Or we may
need to make another part of the OPP binding to indicate the
relationship between the power domain and the OPP and the parent of the
power domain.
