NPU supports three freqs:
500MHz for Low Drive mode
800MHz for Nominal Drive mode
1GHz for Over drive mode

The NXP downstream choose nominal drive mode for peripherals,
in NXP downstream, there is a driver to do nominal and over drive
mode switch for the SoC at runtime(through sysfs interface by user), there
is no dedicated arm core voltage supply, there is only one vdd soc supply.

To avoid introduce complexity to various drivers, drivers use nomimal freq,
so OD->ND switch does not require drivers to update its own clock frequencies.

APB could run at 133.3MHz.
