Hmm, so we are trying to free opps while we failed to find one.

Are you sure you have tested this on one such platform where we
fail here?

Because this is what I see:

void of_free_opp_table(struct device *dev)
{
        struct device_opp *dev_opp;
        struct dev_pm_opp *opp, *tmp;

        /* Check for existing list for 'dev' */
        dev_opp = find_device_opp(dev);
        if (WARN(IS_ERR(dev_opp), "%s: dev_opp: %ld\n", dev_name(dev),
                 PTR_ERR(dev_opp)))
                return;

        ...
}


And we probably will hit this WARN(), wouldn't we ?
