If you read my comment above, you should see that I agree OPP is
CPU/SoC specific and should be defined in <soc>.dtsi. But property
operating-points can reasonably be overwritten by particular <board>.dts
for some reason like some voltages cannot be supplied on that board.

Again, this is just a way for you to use generic cpufreq-cpu0 driver as
it is, but not necessarily the best one.
