Well summarised, sorry for chiming in late. I could have not summarised
any better. Just saw the big thread and was thinking of summarising.
If the last point on OPP is possible(i.e. no OPP entries but just use
it for fetch the information) for $subject patch is trying to achieve,
then it would be good.
Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't have suggested empty opp-tables
for sure but it doesn't seem worth adding another binding to get this
information out :)
Just to put in my two pennies worth: using opp-shared (in possibly empty
OPP table) as alternative to cpu-perf-dependencies sounds good enough
to me as well.

Now that (almost) everyone agrees, I don't think we need to make any
change anywhere, in code or bindings. This should work right now as
well. The code should never try to create OPP tables and the core
will not create one. Your driver (which want to get this information
out of empty OPP tables) shall call dev_pm_opp_of_get_sharing_cpus(),
which just parses the DT to get this information out.
Thank you Viresh. We are going to experiment with this and come back
soon.

Lukasz
