So I recently started working on abstracting away power controls from
the SE protocol drivers into a single place, among other improvements

A snapshot of this work is available here

(not yet 100% ready..)

I think it'd make sense to get it done first, so that we can condense
most of your changes in the common driver, where we'd swap out the clock
handling for perf level setting instead
