I had a long chat with Rajendra offline and clarified few things..

Yes, but in the OPP table of the power-domain and not the device. The
device can still have its own OPP table with normal freq/voltage
values (for a separate regulator).

As you clarified on the chat, you were talking about the device here.
It isn't a problem as we will have two separate tables here, one for
the device and one for the domain.
