This should work, while I generally favor not having to parse for
specific return codes.

Another option is to add a new OPP OF helperfunction that just informs
the caller whether the required-opps property exists (instead of
open-coding that part), and if so, the caller can continue with
of_get_required_opp_performance_state() and then expect it to succeed.

I have no strong opinion though! Whatever works for me.

Kind regards
