Not necessarily. Because, right now the bandwidth values of the all peripherals
are encoded within the drivers. Only OPP has the requirement to define the
values in DT.

Still I prefer to use OPP for bandwidth control because both the voltage and
bandwidth values need to be updated at the same time. My only point here is, if
OPP exposes a callback for bw, then we can keep the DT behavior consistent.
