This has never been the case, and we always had some deviation in the
FEX files for all the SoCs.

If we could come up with standard OPPs that work for every one,
there's no reason it can't happen here.

I don't really see why the thermal design should change anything. If a
boards heats faster, it will throttle down to a lower OPP faster, but
those OPPs are not going to change.
