Right, but why can't this be hidden in the CPU's clk driver instead,
so cpufreq driver can just do clk_get_rate() and clk_set_rate() ?

Right and lot of other platforms read it from firmware (I believe BBMP
is a firmware here), and create OPPs at runtime. Look at this for
example:

drivers/cpufreq/qcom-cpufreq-hw.c

and search for dev_pm_opp_add().
