Prior to that 'freq_table' is optional. So, patch[1] initialize the 'freq_table'
by using OPP interface if 'freq_table' is NULL.
[1] commit 0ec09ac2cebe ("PM / devfreq: Set the freq_table of devfreq device")
Current devfreq recommend the ascending order for 'freq_table'.
But, as you know, it might be not enough to support them.
I agree that we should support the both cases (ascending or descending order).
Maybe, it might be not proper to access the freq_table[] directly
because we don't know the ordering style of 'freq_table'
if 'freq_table' is made by devfreq user instead of devfreq core.
