I'm not convinced that required-opps would work. I'm worried that the
format is too vague if we need to use it for multiple paths and possibly
other uses too, consider this:
required-opp = <&mdp_path0_opp3, &mdp_path1_opp5, &mdp_rpmh_opp1>;
This has ordering problems and IMO pollutes the DT namespace for no
great technical advantage. I appreciate the hesitation for opening up
the flood gates for new OPP bindings but we are entering a new era
of hyper power aware devices and some concessions will need to be made.
