This change is uneeded in 3.2, but doesn't do any harm either... it just
seems to fix the code because of the continue added in 9fa2df6b (ARM:
OMAP2+: OPP: allow OPP enumeration to continue if device is not present),
change which 3.2 doesn't have. A noop for 3.2 anyway, so either way it's
fine, applying or not, just commenting on it.
