Subject: [PATCH V4 1/8] opp: of_init_opp_table(): return -ENOSYS when feature isn't implemented

When none of CONFIG_PM_OPP or CONFIG_OF is enabled we use the dummy
implementation of of_init_opp_table() routine, which returns -EINVAL currently.
-EINVAL can confuse the callers a bit as it can have other meanings for the
actual implementation of this routine.

It is more appropriate to return -ENOSYS instead to avoid confusion at caller.
