You were kind-of a few days back :)

lkml.kernel.org/r/CAL_JsqK-qtAaM_Ou5NtxcWR3F_q=8rMPJUm-VqGtKhbtWe5SAQ@mail.gmail.com

So here is the deal:

- I proposed "domain-performance-state" property for this stuff
  initially.
- But Kevin didn't like that and proposed reusing "opp-hz" and
  "opp-microvolt", which we all agreed to multiple times..
- And we are back to the same discussion now and its painful and time
  killing for all of us.

TBH, I don't have too strong preferences about any of the suggestions
you guys have and I need you guys to tell me what binding changes to
do here and I will do that.

What about the initial idea then, like "performance-state" for the
power domains ? All platforms will anyway replicate that binding only.

Sure, but I am not sure how to make him speak :)
