Is it not possible to reduce the amount of code protected by RCU lock?
something like this:
+               rcu_read_lock();
                opp = opp_find_freq_exact(dvfs_info->dev,
                                        freq_tbl[i].frequency * 1000, true);
                if (IS_ERR(opp)) {
+                       rcu_read_unlock();
                        dev_err(dvfs_info->dev,
                                "failed to find valid OPP for %u KHZ\n",
                                freq_tbl[i].frequency);
                        return PTR_ERR(opp);
                }
+               volt_id = opp_get_voltage(opp);
+               rcu_unlock();
