I feel that you got confused because this patch didn't had the diff
where the opp_tables thing is getting used. When we see the .c file
itself, it is pretty much clear on what is going on and I believe the
comment would be totally unnecessary and redundant.

This is how it looks now, please lemme know if you still prefer the
comment :)

opp_tables = kcalloc(num_possible_cpus(), sizeof(*opp_tables), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!opp_tables)
return -ENOMEM;

for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
cpu_dev = get_cpu_device(cpu);
if (NULL == cpu_dev) {
ret = -ENODEV;
goto free_opp;
}

opp_tables[cpu] = dev_pm_opp_set_supported_hw(cpu_dev,
&versions, 1);
if (IS_ERR(opp_tables[cpu])) {
ret = PTR_ERR(opp_tables[cpu]);
dev_err(cpu_dev, "Failed to set supported hardware\n");
goto free_opp;
}
}

kfree(opp_tables);
