Got it. So in this case we could have the various display components
that are in the mdss gdsc domain set their frequency via OPP and then
have that translate to a level in CX or MMCX. How do we parent the power
domains outside of DT? I'm thinking that we'll need to do that if MMCX
is parented by CX or something like that and the drivers for those two
power domains are different. Is it basic string matching?
In one way or another we need to invoke pm_genpd_add_subdomain() to link
the two power-domains (actually genpds) together, like what was done in
3652265514f5 ("clk: qcom: gdsc: enable optional power domain support").
In the case of MMCX and CX, my impression of the documentation is that
they are independent - but if we need to express that CX is parent of
MMCX, they are both provided by rpmhpd which already supports this by
just specifying .parent on mmcx to point to cx.
I was trying to follow the discussion, but it turned out to be a bit
complicated to catch up and answer all things. In any case, let me
just add a few overall comments, perhaps that can help to move things
forward.
First, one domain can have two parent domains. Both from DT and from
genpd point of view, just to make this clear.
Although, it certainly looks questionable to me, to hook up the USB
device to two separate power domains, one to control power and one to
control performance. Especially, if it's really the same piece of HW
that is managing both things.

Additionally, if it's correct to model
the USB GDSC power domain as a child to the CX power domain from HW
point of view, we should likely do that.
I think this would still require a few things in genpd, since
CX and USB GDSC are power domains from different providers.
Perhaps a pm_genpd_add_subdomain_by_name()?
I think of_genpd_add_subdomain() should help to address this. No?
We only describe the provider nodes in DT and not the individual power domains.
For instance GCC is the power domain provider which is in DT, and USB GDSC is one
of the many power domains it supports, similarly RPMHPD is the provider node in
DT and CX is one of the many power domains it supports.
So we would need some non-DT way of hooking up power domains from two different
providers as parent/child.
