Hi Sibi,

after doing the review I noticed that Viresh replied on the cover letter
that he picked the series up for v5.9, so I'm not sure if it makes sense
to send a v7.

Yes, this is the cross-validation step,
we adjust the voltage if opp-tables are
present/added successfully and enable
them, else we would just do a add opp.
We don't want to exit early on a single
opp failure. We will error out a bit
later if the opp-count ends up to be
zero.

At least an error/warning message would seem convenient when adjusting/adding
an OPP fails, otherwise you would only notice by looking at the sysfs
attributes (if you'd even spot a single/few OPPs to be missing).

I did consider the case where adjust
voltage fails and we do report the
freq for which it fails for as well.
If adding a OPP fails we will still
it being listed in the sysfs cpufreq
scaling_available_frequencies since
it lists the freq_table in khz there
instead.
