This will break bisection on those boards. Indeed, you added the OPPs on
the first patch, and if you only apply that patch, the boards in the
second patch will be missing their CPU regulator. The kernel will then
ramp up the frequency to the highest OPP, but will not change the
voltage, resulting in a crash.

There's a similar issue for all the boards that don't have a regulator
in the first place.

The way we worked around this for the other SoCs is to have a DTSI with
the OPPs with a frequency higher than what U-Boot boots with (1008MHz?),
and only include that DTSI on boards that have a CPU regulator hooked in.
