I'm not sure this is everything we need though.

For the LITTLE cores cluster, all OPPs up to 1.416GHz are using the same
opp-supported-hw, however the ones above, aren't.

1.608GHz, 1.704GHz and 1.8GHz are all using different opp-supported-hw.

Similarly, for the big cores clusters, all OPPs up to 1.608GHz are using
the same opp-supported-hw, but not the ones above.

1.8GHz and 2.016GHz, 2.208GHz, 2.256GHz, 2.304GHz, 2.352GHz and 2.4GHz
all have a different opp-supported-hw.

The values in that array are coming from cpu leakage (different for
LITTLE, big0 and big1 clusters) and "specification serial number"
(whatever that means), those are coming from the SoC OTP. In the
downstream kernel from Rockchip, the former value is called "SoC
Version" and the latter "Speed Grade".

I think this may have something to do with "binning" and I would see the
ones above the "common" OPPs as "overclocking". Not all CPUs would
support them and some may not run stable at some lower frequency than
their stable max. Adding Kever from Rockchip in Cc to have some input on
the need to support those.

Cheers,
Quentin
