I wouldn't call dev_pm_opp_set_rate() from there, since it means
configure and enable (both) for different resources, clk, regulator,
genpd, etc..

What we need here is just configure. So something like this then:

- genpd->get_performance_state()
  -> dev_pm_opp_get_current_opp() //New API
  -> dev_pm_genpd_set_performance_state(dev, current_opp->pstate);

This can be done just once from probe() then.

Dmitry already mentioned that this will make the device start
consuming power, and he doesn't want that, else we need an explicit
disble call as well.
