You are hereby changing the semmantics of the original
available_frequencies node.

When a frequency/voltage pair has been disabled (opp_disable), probably
by opp_disable(), the frequency is no more "available".
However, when the driver author supplied freq_table as well as OPP
in order to see the statistics, the node will behave differently.

Please do not affect the current users as long as it does not give
additional benefit or fix a bug.


Cheers,
MyungJoo.
