Sorry for being too late, I was very busy with other cpufreq stuff I was doing
and saved this thread for later as it required me to understand it properly..

I failed to understand what's new here, probably I need more clarity on
what we are doing here..

So, this is what I see from OPPs point of view, everything else stripped out.

So these are the OPPs your "groups" support and below ones are
the frequencies that each block will support. Right ?

Why this replication here ?

>> +                       };

How are the above two tables (operating-points and frequency) related
here? What about the voltages at which these frequencies are possible ?

same for others as well..
