While most devices within power-domains which support performance states,
scale the performance state dynamically, some devices might want to
set a static/default performance state while the device is active.
These devices typically would also run off a fixed clock and not support
dynamically scaling the device's performance, also known as DVFS
techniques.

Add a property 'assigned-performance-states' which client devices can
use to set this default performance state on their power-domains.

May I ask how this is different from saying something like:

	required-opps = <&??>, <&rpmpd_opp_svs>:

I think its potentially the same. We just don't have any code to handle this
binding in kernel yet (when this property is part of the device/consumer node)
