This is wrong. Please have a look at other exported APIs that return
an OPP. RCU protected structures must be accessed from within RCU
locks _ONLY_. But your function returns the pointer after dropping
the locks. Which essentially means that the OPP can be freed by core,
by the time you start using it. :)

So, in such cases, its upto the caller to ensure that locks are taken
properly.

You can look at dev_pm_opp_find_freq_exact() as an example.
