Just think of the power-domain as a regulator here. If we are
increasing frequency of the device, power-domain needs to be
programmed first followed by the clock.

They control performance state of the domains, not the devices.

No. They are separate.

power-domain will driver its own state using its own OPP table.
Devices may fine tune within those states.
