Hi,

a few initial remarks from the mere SCMI standpoint.

Unlinke most SCMI protocols that expose domains info bits via an
*info_get protocol operation, PERF does no do this since (till now) there
wasn't a compelling reason (i.e. users)

Ulf recently in his GenPD/SCMI series recently started exposing something
and now you need to expose even more, adding also a new xlate ops.

For the sake of simplicity, I think that we could now expose straight
away the whole perf_domain_info and embedded structs via the usual *info_get.

After having done that, you can just drop your patch 1 and 2 since you
can access the needed info from the cpufreq_driver right away.

Having said, I have already such patch ready (for my internal testing), I
wll post it by the end of week after a minor cleanup, if you can bear with me.

Thoughts ?

Thanks,
Cristian
