For OPP V1 the cpufreq device isn't created by default and hence the allowlist
allows us to know the devices for which the device shall be created.

For OPP V2, we have the compatible string available and with help of that we
create a device without need of any entry to any list. The blocklist however
allows us to skip creating the device for some platforms, which don't want it.

As your case is opp-v2 and you want the device, you aren't required to add entry
anywhere.
