IIRC, if the gpu opp table in the DT uses the 'opp-supported-hw' 
property, we will see some error during boot up if we don't call 
dev_pm_opp_set_supported_hw(). So calling "nvmem_cell_get(dev, 
"speed_bin")" is a way to test this.

If there is no other harm, we can put a hard dependency on CONFIG_NVMEM.
