In T194, CCPLEX doesn't have access to set clocks and the

clk_{get|set}_rate() functions set clocks by hook to BPMP R5.

CPU freq can be directly set by CCPLEX using MSR(NVFREQ_REQ_EL1).

As DVFS run's on BPMP, another MSR (NVFREQ_FEEDBACK_EL1) is

used to read the counters and calculate "actual" cpu freq at CCPLEX.

So, "cpuinfo_cur_freq" node gives the actual cpu frequency and not

given by node "scaling_cur_freq".

We are reading available frequencies from BPMP to populate

cpufreq table and not using static opp table.
