sure, I didn't mean that the OPP table is added by the kernel as a device, but
that the table breaks with the structure of the DT of device nodes ordered by
address.

I'm not advocating for duplicating the OPP tables. An alternative to having
them in the first QUP device could be to have an dedicated node with shared
opp tables outside of the device list, similar to thermal-zones.

I tend to like consistency and the sprinkled in OPP tables break with that,
but ultimately it's up to Bjorn.
