Based on what version of the hardware you are running, via
opp-supported-hw property, the platform can enable a different set of
OPPs. And in that case we may want to select different OPPs marked as
turbo or suspend freq. That's what I thought at least.

For example, on version A of the hardware we have following available
frequencies: 800, 1000, 1100, 1200 MHz. Where 800 MHz is the suspend
freq and 1200 is the turbo one.

But on a slightly different version of hardware B, we have two more
OPPs available: 700 and 1400 MHz. And in that case we want the suspend
freq to be 700 and turbo OPP to be only 1400 MHz.
