IIUC opp_set_availability(opp_enable/opp_disable) is designed for such
use-case ? Currently there are no users of this API but I see it fits
your use case.

Even with multiple OPP sets listed in DT as you described, you need to
read those fuses and chose the right set of OPPs. Instead you can use
opp_en(/dis)able methods to do that ?
