And because that saves a pointer, and simplifies allocating/freeing that

True, I will add this also:

Should this comment change too?
Yes, indeed. I will adjust it.

So what will be the name for the perf domain of CPUs now? cpuX?
yeap, it will be 'cpu0', 'cpu4', etc...

It feels like changing from warn to debug doesn't really belong to this
patch no?
I thought that these prints are not worth to introduce another patch.
This warning is a bit tricky, because we (SW eng) basically are not able
to tweak OPPs, we can only remove them to calm down this warning.
There are platforms, with dozen of OPPs, seeing this. Warnings triggers
the automated tests scripts, which are sensitive to dmesg log level and
cause developers to spent time and investigate the issue.
Then, what if these OPPs are needed because the thermal was tested OK
with some OPPs which unfortunately are triggering also this warning.
They cannot remove these OPPS, but the warning would stay. We might see
this also for GPUs.
I decided to change it into dbg, due to the reason above.

Something like
if (!_is_cpu_device(dev))
goto device;
would limit the diff a bit, but that may just be personal taste.
Possible
But appart from these nits, the patch LGTM.
Thank you for the review.
I will wait for Daniel's (because he suggested the em_pd inside
device struct) comments and if there is no other issues I will just
resend the patch with adjusted comment fields in response.

Lukasz
