Fair enough. What I can propose in this case is to have in PM_OPP a
helper called 'dev_pm_opp_of_register_em()' or something like this. This
function will check all prerequisites are present (we have the right
values in DT, and so on) and then call (or not) em_register_perf_domain().
Then we can make the CPUFreq drivers use that instead of calling
em_register_perf_domain() directly.

That would also make it easy to implement Matthias' suggestion to not
call em_register_perf_domain() if an EM is already present.

Would that work ?

Thanks,
Quentin
