Hi Viresh, thanks for looking into this.

Initially I thought to place a comment right there but I ended up with an
explanation of this case at the top of this function (the corner-case). It
probably also needs more details..
Basically, on this case - empty opp table & opp-shared - we limit the scope of
opp-shared to *only* tell us about hw description, and not marking the opp
points as shared, since they are not present in DT. It would be the equivalent
of describing that devices share clock/voltage lines, but we can't tell anything
about opp points cause they are not there (in DT).
OTOH If we don't set shared_opp to OPP_TABLE_ACCESS_EXCLUSIVE for that specific
case, we won't be able to add opps for the remaining cpus as the opp core
will find the opps as duplicated. This is a corner case, really.

Please let me know if it's not clear.

Many thanks
Nicola
