Some providers retain conservative performance votes until their
sync_state() callbacks run to accommodate hardware configured by
firmware. Enforcing this policy inside the provider hides the floor
from genpd when aggregating performance requirements towards parents.
Add a provider-specified boot_performance_state for domains using
GENPD_FLAG_POWER_UNKNOWN. Clamp the effective domain vote without
changing individual consumer requests, and reaggregate those requests
when sync_state releases the floor. Zero imposes no additional floor.
Apply the floor before runtime power-on even without a preceding
performance request. Do not skip an unchanged consumer request if the
boot performance floor has yet to be applied.
Report sync-time performance errors and continue the normal power-off
attempt. Leave the provider sync callbacks and existing performance
error handling in place, without introducing retries or a new recovery
policy.

A system suspend can occur before a provider has received sync_state().
If a domain has not been used through runtime PM, its boot performance
floor may not have been applied when genpd_sync_power_on() enables it
during resume-noirq.
Prepare boot performance floors from genpd_prepare(), where performance
callbacks may sleep. Walk the parent hierarchy even when the device's
own domain has no boot floor: a parent without direct consumers would
otherwise miss preparation entirely. Take parent locks in the existing
child-to-parent order and propagate preparation failures to the PM core.
Also retain boot power protection in genpd_sync_power_off() for domains
with a boot performance floor. This prevents the system-sleep path from
withdrawing their power vote while boot protection remains active.
Keep performance programming out of resume-noirq. Domains with their
floor already satisfied do not need another performance update, and
no floor is imposed after sync_state() releases boot protection.

RPMh power domains are registered as powered off without knowing their
initial hardware state. Until the provider's sync_state() callback runs,
rpmhpd_aggregate_corner() replaces requests with the highest supported
corner, leaving genpd unaware of this boot performance constraint.
Set GENPD_FLAG_POWER_UNKNOWN and provide the highest mapped performance
level as boot_performance_state. Reject an empty mapping before indexing
its last entry. Let genpd enforce the floor and retain consumer-enabled
domains while boot protection is active, instead of clamping corners
inside the provider.
Retain state_synced for the hardware-specific sleep-vote policy. Include
the supplied corner in sleep votes for active-only domains until the
provider's sync_state() callback releases that protection. This also
applies when translating an enabled peer's vote. Keep the existing sync
callback to reconcile votes for domains left software-OFF by genpd.

RPMPD clamps corner votes to max_state until its sync_state() callback
runs, without exposing this boot constraint to genpd. The separate enable
vote is not covered by the clamp: rpmpd_power_off() can withdraw it before
the provider's sync_state() callback has run.
Set GENPD_FLAG_POWER_UNKNOWN and use max_state as boot_performance_state.
Let genpd enforce the performance floor and retain consumer-enabled
domains while boot protection is active. Remove the local corner clamp
so genpd accounts for the floor in parent-domain performance aggregation.
Keep state_synced to include the supplied corner in sleep votes for
active-only domains until the provider's sync_state() callback runs,
including when translating an enabled peer's vote. Retain the existing
callback to reconcile corner votes for domains left software-OFF in
genpd.
