I suggest we dont call them as triplets either -> note, we have added
clk transition latency per OPP, so they are not exactly triplets either.

Would be good to point to operating-points (the legacy document) as
well. It might be good to state that only one of the properties should
be used for the device node OPP description.

Is'nt this property redundant? by the fact that phandle is reused for
cpu1 should indicate shared OPP table, correct?

Might be great to add some description for what "turbo mode" means here.
That said, flexibility of this approach is awesome, thanks for doing
this, I believe we did have a discussion about "safe OPP" for thermal
behavior -> now that we have phandles for OPPs, we can give phandle
pointer to the thermal framework. in addition, we can also use phandle
for marking throttling information in thermal framework instead of
indices as well. which allows a lot of flexibility.
in some systems, we'd have need to mark certain OPPs for entry into
suspend(tegra?) or during shutdown (for example) - do we allow for such
description as phandle pointer back to the OPP nodes (from cpu0 device)
OR do we describe them as additional properties?
> +- status: Marks the node enabled/disabled.
One question we'd probably want the new framework to address is the need
for OPPs based on Efuse options - Am I correct in believing that the
solution that iMX, and TI SoCs probably need is something similar to
modifying the status to disabled? or do we have Vendor specfic modifier
properties that would be allowed?
One additional behavior need I noticed in various old threads is a need
to restrict transition OPPs -> certain SoCs might have constraints on
next OPP they can transition from certain OPPs in-order to achieve a new
OPP. again, such behavior could be phandle lists OR properties that link
the chain up together. Number of such needs did sound less, but still
just thought to bring it up.
