Previously, OPP entries that were generated by the driver used KHz
units. Now, OPP entries are coming from a device-tree and they have Hz
units. This driver operates with KHz internally, hence we need to
convert the units now.

Older DTBs will continue to work, but devfreq driver won't. We already
did this for other Tegra drivers before (CPUFREQ driver for example) and
Rob Herring confirmed that there is no problem here.

I'm not sure what are the benefits, this will make code less
expressive/readable and we will need to add extra of_node_put(), which
device_property_present() handles for us.

Could you please give the rationale?

OPP core will try to grab the clock reference for the table and it may
cause EPROBE_DEFER. Although, it shouldn't happen here because we have
devm_clk_get() before the get_opp_table(), hence seems the deferred
probe indeed shouldn't happen in this case.
