Ok. How were those OPPs picked and tested?

Yeah, but none of them have been supporting it since day one. Having
these OPPs now mean that the very first thing you'll need to do is to
bringup the PMIC as well, otherwise the system will crash.

And to the person doing the bringup, this will be far from obvious
that a) we have that requirement b) the crash that they are seeing is
due to cpufreq.
