GENPD core has these false assumptions:

1. It assumes that by default all devices are at zero performance level
at a boot time. This is not true for Tegra because hardware is
pre-initialized independently from GENPD.

2. It assumes that nothing depends on performance level and devices can
operate at any level at any time. Not true for Tegra and other platforms
where performance level is coupled with clocks state of attached
devices. OPP framework glues clock and performance level together for
us, which works good so far.

Hence I either need to patch every driver to use dev_pm_opp_set_rate in
order to sync clk rate with the perf level at device runtime, or I need
to preset the rpm perf level to allow GENPD core to set the level before
device is resumed.
