Why do we need this function?

This could be done at the init time (devfreq_add_device).

Plus, when it does not have dev_pm_opp_get_suspend_opp() available,

Why are you adding this? "Stop polling" does not necessarily mean that
we are doing suspend-to-RAM/disk. It may really mean just to stop at
the current frequency.
