Actually, I don't think we need this flag at all. The presence of the
get_performance_state() callback itself can be used as a flag here instead of
defining a new one.

As with both, your above solution and my solution, we pretty much don't check
presence of set_performance_state() callbacks in the master hierarchy. If its
present, we call it, else nothing happens.
