Thanks for reading this far into it. Agreed: rocket_devfreq_init() runs
from the probe of the core that binds last, which need not be the core
the devfreq device hangs off, so a failure there takes down one NPU core
while the remaining cores keep running without devfreq anyway. panfrost,
lima and panthor do fail their probe at this point, but there it is the
whole device; msm_devfreq_init() only logs, as you suggest.

v3 will warn and carry on without devfreq. On that path the driver will
hold no OPP table, no OPP configuration and no runtime PM references,
the same as a board that describes no OPP table.

-EPROBE_DEFER stays fatal: npu-supply is first requested there, through
dev_pm_opp_set_config(), and swallowing a deferral would leave the board
without frequency scaling for good.

All of this is from reading the code; nothing was run for this mail.
