The devfreq driver(exynos-bus.c) has used the dev_pm_opp_set_rate()
and used the passive governor without the required-opp property.

I have a plan to use the required-opp property
between devfreq drivers (exynos-bus.c) with dev_pm_opp_set_rate().

I'll support them on later if this approach doesn't break the any
rule of required-opp property.
