Actually the problem is that OPP tables are insufficient for such cases,
and we are adding work-arounds to fix that. Though it will get fixed
with the new bindings we are adding.

I am confused on what we should be doing here. Even if you write
your own driver, you will be abusing DT with incorrect information.

Even if you go around adding a new driver, I would like you to fallback
to cpufreq-dt ones the new OPP bindings are in place.
