What I am doing is a powerdomain driver to communicate magic values from
CPU to rpmh, looks like we need another one to communicate from CPU to
GMU now :)

A few things,
* someone will need to map these larger magic values into something that
rpmh would understand (between 0 to 15 on the sdm845), thats done by
reading the command db level maps. Is this done by GMU?

* are these communicated just once for every OPP at init/boot, or for
every OPP switch?

* whats the communication mechanism we use between CPU and GMU? 

regards
Rajendra
