Yes. If the device tree has an OPP-v2 table and the bootloader modify it to add an old OPP table at boot, the one added by the bootloader won't be taken into account by the kernel.

Sure. OPP-v2 tables can be used for devices having an up-to-date bootloader or if the bootloader do not modify the device tree at boot time to add an (old) OPP table.
