It has turned out that having _set_required_opps() to recursively call dev_pm_opp_set_opp() to set the required OPPs, doesn't really work as well as we expected.

More precisely, at each recursive call to dev_pm_opp_set_opp() we are changing the OPP for a genpd's OPP table for a device that has been attached to it. The problem with this, is that we may have several devices being attached to the same genpd, thus sharing the same OPP-table that is being used for their required OPPs. So, typically we may have several active requests simultaneously for different OPPs for a genpd's OPP table. This may lead to that the per device vote for a performance-state (opp-level) for a genpd doesn't get requested accordingly.

Moreover, dev_pm_opp_set_opp() doesn't get called for a required OPP when a device has been attached to a single PM domain. Even if a consumer driver would attempt to assign the required-devs, via _opp_attach_genpd() or _opp_set_required_devs() it would not be possible, as there is no separate virtual device at hand to use in this case.

The above said, let's fix the problem by replacing the call to dev_pm_opp_set_opp() in _set_required_opps() by a call to _set_opp_level(). At the moment there's no drawback doing this, as there is no need to manage anything but the performance-state of the genpd. If it later turns out that another resource needs to be managed for a required-OPP, it can still be extended without having to call dev_pm_opp_set_opp().
