Can someone just give me a yes/no question out of this thread? I'm not
really immediately sure what's being asked of me. What exactly do you
want to do with the opp-tables? "Split out" isn't super clear. Does that
mean into board files? I am guessing it does, since you're saying that a
particular board cannot support the 1.5 GHz mode. It's not unusual
though to use delete node for unsupported opp-table entries, could that
be done instead?

FWIW, this weekend is -rc7, so I won't be applying any new material
after that.
