I don't understand what goes in here.

So you have just defined a new OPP table format. We already have one
and Viresh is working to create a more extendable one. He asked about
what's needed in devfreq, so Viresh here you go. :)

Why is this not part of the DDR controller or /memory node?

This is just duplicated from the operating-points table.

Why is this and the following nodes not part of the respective
peripheral nodes or buses. If you need more hierarchy in your bus add
that to DT first. I'm sure just a flat "simple-bus" was done which
doesn't reflect the actual bus and now you need it to.

This just looks like constraints on the clock frequency. This should
be added in a standard way to the clock binding.
