That isn't correct, you can call dev_pm_opp_of_add_table() as many
times as you want. It will just increase the refcount and return the
next time.

Yes, you can call the APIs like set-clk-name or supported-hw, since
they are supposed to be set only once.

Yeah, but is broken by design. People can make changes to genpd core
later on to call it as many times and they aren't required to have a
look at all the users to see who abused the API and who didn't.

Thanks for this.

What you end up doing here is pretty much like
devm_tegra_core_dev_init_opp_table_simple(), right ?

You shouldn't be required to do this at all.

Can we make the call at the beginning ? before calling
gr3d_init_power() ? I mean you should only be required to initialize
the OPP table just once.

If not, then what about calling
devm_tegra_core_dev_init_opp_table_simple() from here and from
tegra_pmc_pd_dev_get_performance_state() as well ?

And update devm_tegra_core_dev_init_opp_table_simple() to call
dev_pm_opp_get_opp_table() first and return early if the OPP table is
already initialized ?
