In general this seems to work fine both on Colibri T20 as well as
Apalis/Colibri T30. However I did notice a few things plus have some
additional questions:

- Both T20 as well as T30 currently limit the max frequency to 1 GHz
while there are clearly T30 SKUs which may allow higher frequencies
(e.g. our regular T30 aka Embedded SKU 1.3 GHz max resp. 1.4 GHz single
core only, commercial T30 aka AP33 or T33 or whatever it is called up
to 1.6 GHz max resp. 1.7 GHz single core only). Would I have to allow
this via custom OPPs in my device tree?

- However, certain OPPs may also require adjusting core/cpu voltages
which is not yet taken care of as far as I can tell, correct?

- I believe in downstream certain OPPs also take silicon parameters aka
speedo whatever into account. Any comments/plans concerning this?

- With "cpufreq-info -f" I could only observe like the top 3-4 OPPs
while it does not to go further down even when idling. Why could that
be resp. what could cause this?

- Unfortunately "cpufreq-info --stats" currently does not seem to
output anything. Would that require something special to be
implemented?

Other than that you may add the following to the whole series:
