Here I cheated and simply used get_cpu_device(0).

Since I cheated, I used get_cpu_device(0) always,
so even when CPU1,CPU2,CPU3 is attached, dev_pm_opp_get_opp_count(cpu0) is
still 0.

I added a print in
[    3.836533] cpr_set_performance: number of OPPs for dev: cpu0: 3

And there I can see that OPP count is 3, so it appears that with the
current code, we need to wait until cpufreq-dt.c:cpufreq_init()
has been called, maybe dev_pm_opp_of_cpumask_add_table() needs
to be called before dev_pm_opp_get_opp_count(cpu0) actually returns 3.

cpufreq_init() is called by platform_device_register_simple("cpufreq-dt", -1,
                                                          NULL, 0);
which is called after dev_pm_opp_attach_genpd().

What I don't understand is that dev_pm_opp_attach_genpd() actually returns
a OPP table. So why do we need to wait for dev_pm_opp_of_cpumask_add_table(),
before either dev_pm_opp_get_opp_count(cpu0) or
dev_pm_opp_get_opp_count(genpd_virtdev_for_cpu0) returns 3?
