This is how the code looks like currently:

int _opp_compare_key(struct dev_pm_opp *opp1, struct dev_pm_opp *opp2)
{
	if (opp1->rate != opp2->rate)
		return opp1->rate < opp2->rate ? -1 : 1;
	if (opp1->bandwidth && opp2->bandwidth &&
	    opp1->bandwidth[0].peak != opp2->bandwidth[0].peak)
		return opp1->bandwidth[0].peak < opp2->bandwidth[0].peak ? -1 : 1;
	if (opp1->level != opp2->level)
		return opp1->level < opp2->level ? -1 : 1;
	return 0;
}

Lets consider the case you are focussing on, where rate is 0 for both the OPPs,
bandwidth isn't there and we want to run the level comparison here.

Since both the rates are 0, (opp1->rate != opp2->rate) will fail and so we will
move to bandwidth check which will fail too. And so we will get to the level
comparison.

What am I missing here ? I am sure there is something for sure as you won't have
missed this..
