Subject: [PATCH] PM: Hide OPP configuration when SoCs do not provide an implementation

Since the OPP API is only useful with an appropraite SoC-specific
implementation there is no point in offering the ability to enable
the API on general systems. Provide an ARCH_HAS OPP Kconfig symbol
which masks out the option unless selected by an implementation.

 SoC framework	-> modifies on required cases certain OPPs	-> OPP layer

+Architectures that provide a SoC framework for OPP should select ARCH_HAS_OPP

 OPP layer expects each domain to be represented by a unique device pointer. SoC
 framework registers a set of initial OPPs per device with the OPP layer. This
 list is expected to be an optimally small number typically around 5 per device.
