I have thought about this again and adding such "fake" property in DT
doesn't look right, specially in binding document. It maybe fine to
have a "level" property in your case of UFS, where we want something
to represent gears. But others may not want it.

So, in the new version I am sending now, we still consider opp-hz
property as the property that uniquely identifies an OPP. Just that we
compare all the rates now, and not just the first one. I have updated
_opp_compare_keys() for this as well.

The drivers, for multiple clock case, are expected to call
dev_pm_opp_set_opp() to set the specific OPP. Though how they find the
target OPP is left for the users to handle. For some, we may have
another unique OPP property, like level, which can be used to find the
OPP. While in case of others, we may want to implement freq-based OPP
finder APIs for multiple clock rates. I have decided not to implement
them in advance, and add them only someone wants to use them.
