The rationale is that the check is already performed by
dev_pm_opp_of_add_table() and it isn't going to add *any* benefit to
check it again here. Such a check for matching compatible platforms is
normally fine, but not for this. This is like open coding part of
dev_pm_opp_of_add_table(), and so is redundant. The
dev_pm_opp_of_add_table() helper also checks for OPPv1 bindings in the
DT (yes you won't be using them on your platform) and so relying on
that API is a better thing to do.

As you already said, you just wanted a better print message and so you
have added this check. If you really care only about the print
message, then you can add a print of your choice in the driver but
otherwise this check is not going to benefit you much I am afraid.

Having said that, this isn't the code I maintain. I need to guarantee
that the OPP core APIs are used properly and are not misused and so I
have a higher say there. But in this case all I can do is _suggest_
and not enforce. And as I said earlier, I suggest to drop this
redundant check in order to make your code better and faster.

Thanks.
