In the current logic, core_clk_freq will always be non-zero if has_opp is true.
I included the check to decouple the two variables defensively, but I agree it's
redundant if we assume the OPP table is the sole source of frequency scaling here.
I will simplify this to *if (ice->has_opp)* and ensure core_clk_freq is initialized
within the OPP registration block.

I intentionally used dev_info() here as it would provide a quick diagnostic hint
for KPI/performance regressions as mentioned in the cover-letter, which can be difficult
to trace. But I’m fine switching to dev_dbg() to avoid log noise if that’s preferred.

Ack. Will reformat the comment to include it within 80 columns.

For core_clk_freq, I agree moving it under the else improves clarity and clearly
defines the purpose of the variable. I kept it outside earlier to avoid tying it
strictly to OPP presence, but I can move it for better readability.
