This might become useful for Zynq as well. We essentially allow to boot
with all kind of different frequencies and depending on how the PLL, and clock
registers get setup by the bootloader, certain frequencies may or may
not become possible. Having a way to dynamically build an OPP table
would probably be a nicer way than having to tell everybody to adjust
the DT according to how the bootloader sets up the clocks.
