Hi Dave,

Thanks for sharing the knowledge :-)

Yes, I'm fully aware of AVS, which uses fuses and SoC silicon revision
to assess if frequency can be enabled.

Example from my playground:

- AM5728 works with 1.5 GHz enabled

- AM5718 hangs when I try to enable 1.5 GHz frequency

I've backported and tested this code on v4.9 vanilla. It works :-)

I do have a question:

Do you know the correct opp-supported-hw value for 1.5 GHz on AM57x8
SoC?
In TI's SDK Linux (v4.4): opp-supported-hw = <0xFF 0x04>; but this seems
to be always enabled (and not taking silicon revision and efuse into
account).

For my use case it would be best to see what data should prevent my
AM5718 from 1.5 GHz OPP. 

In other words I need to be 100% sure that my silicon SoC version
doesn't support the 1.5 GHz frequency.
