This is exactly why I have been advocating that the genpd needs to
sync up with the hardware before any calls are made to it from the
consumer driver. Just what clock framework does to get the clock rate.

It does enable regulators right now, it may choose to enable clocks
later on, no guarantees.

Right, over that platforms can set their own version of set-opp
callback, where all this is done from a platform specific callback.

It configures clock, regulators, genpds, any required OPPs, + it
enables regulators right now.
