Hello Viresh,
It looks like this is not an entirely correct change because previously
it was possible to get an empty opp_table in order to use it for the
dev_pm_opp_set_rate(), which would fall back to clk_set_rate if table is
empty.
Now it's not possible to get an empty table and
dev_pm_opp_of_add_table() would error out if OPPs are missing in a
device-tree. Hence it's not possible to implement a fall back without
abusing opp_set_regulators() or opp_set_supported_hw() for getting the
empty table. Or am I missing something?
