That could make sense, it seems.

Anyway, this made me realize that
dev_pm_genpd_set_performance_state(dev) returns -EINVAL, in case the
device's genpd doesn't have the ->set_performance_state() assigned.
This may not be correct. Instead we should likely consider an empty
callback as okay and continue to walk the topology upwards to the
parent domain, etc.

Just wanted to point this out. I intend to post a patch as soon as I
can for this.
