So, SPEAr is also from ST. And it already have a driver for itself.

Not that, I was asking about the print. I thought we will still try to
find OPP from the CPU node and a warning or a error might not be the
right choice. You can surely add a debug print. Currently you are
doing a dev_err() here, followed by a dev_warn() I think..

:)

OPP-v2 will get that solved too..

I had >= in the comparison. Wasn't that right?
And I was just suggesting that a single return can be used instead of

if (xyz)
        goto set_default;
return;
