Sorry, but I feel like it's not really worth the churn. There's not
really a problem to be solved here. What you are arguing for is more
about aesthetics, and we could argue that having them separate makes
it easier to read and turn on/off.

Yeah, I agree. If a board wants to support OPPs, they just have to include
a single file and define the CPU regulator, and that's a nice opt-in,
IMHO.
But having this patch would make it quite hard to opt out, I believe. For Linux there are probably ways to disable DVFS nevertheless, but I am not
sure this is true in an OS agnostic pure-DT-only way.

Thanks for your response.  The only thing that still makes me wonder
is why would a board want to opt out of DVFS?  Frankly, I'd consider
the design of the boards that must keep DVFS disabled broken.

This could probably be solved, but same as Chen-Yu I don't see any good
enough reason for this patch in the first place.

And even though the GPU OPPs are in the dtsi, it's just one OPP acting
as a default clock rate.
