This patch landed in linux-next about a week ago. It introduces a 
following warning on Samsung Exnyos3250 SoC:

I've checked a bit and this is related to the fact that Exynos3250 SoC 
use OPP-v1 table. Is this intentional? It is not a problem to convert it 
to OPP-v2 and mark OPP table as shared, but this is a kind of a regression.
