Why do we care? The put variants of the prop and supported_hw
functions are never called, so we're not going to hit this
problem there. Sure the code is broken, but nobody is using the
code in mainline so there isn't anything to backport to stable
urgently.

Perhaps this means my approach in using opp_table is undesirable
for some reason? Care to elaborate why?

This seems a lot like the patch from Joonyoung. It would be good
to add a note that the patch is based on that one and also a
reported-by tag.
Also, this approach is brittle as it requires that the first
device in the mask be used for the set/put APIs, when that could
be any of the devices. I'd prefer we used my patch because it
isn't as easy to break and more directly fixes the problem at
hand.
