OK. I understand.

You mean that 'timings' information is optional?

I understand why add OPP entry point when timing is not defined on DT.
But, actually, I think that you better to change 'timings' info is mandatory
instead of optional. Because the devfreq driver is for DVFS
and the driver supporting DVFS have to have the frequency information
like OPP.
Or,
If you want to keep 'timing' is optional on DT,
I recommend that you add one timing data to tegra mc driver
when DT doesn't include the any timing information
I think that is it more clear.
