I'm sorry I missed that the first time I reviewed this patch, but after
discussing with Ionela, we found out that there is actually a case where
this could be a problem. If you have perf levels that are 1,2,3,4 (for
example), then with mult_factor=1 you'll register OPPs at 1Hz, 2Hz, 3Hz,
4Hz into PM_OPP. And that will be turned into 0 KHz for all of them at
the CPUFreq level when divided by 1000 in dev_pm_opp_init_cpufreq_table().

I guess a quick fix would be to have a default mult_factor of 1000 ...

What do you think ?

Thanks,
Quentin
