cpufreq: mediatek: Enter system sleep at the suspend OPP

This commit updates the mediatek-cpufreq driver to use the generic
suspend-frequency support. It allows the driver to enter system sleep at the
suspend OPP, reducing power consumption during suspend-to-RAM.

[Severity: High]
Is it safe to call dev_pm_opp_get_suspend_opp_freq() here?

In drivers/opp/core.c, dev_pm_opp_get_suspend_opp_freq() locklessly
dereferences opp_table->suspend_opp:

	if (opp_table->suspend_opp && opp_table->suspend_opp->available)
		freq = dev_pm_opp_get_freq(opp_table->suspend_opp);

However, in drivers/opp/of.c, _opp_add_static_v2() modifies
opp_table->suspend_opp dynamically without holding opp_table->lock, creating a
data race:

				opp_table->suspend_opp->suspend = false;
				new_opp->suspend = true;
				opp_table->suspend_opp = new_opp;

Furthermore, when an OPP is removed, _opp_kref_release() in drivers/opp/core.c
frees the dev_pm_opp object without checking or clearing
opp_table->suspend_opp:

	_of_clear_opp(opp_table, opp);
	opp_debug_remove_one(opp);
	kfree(opp);

This leaves a permanent dangling pointer if opp_table->suspend_opp pointed to
the dying OPP. Any subsequent call to dev_pm_opp_get_suspend_opp_freq()
will locklessly dereference the now-dangling pointer, potentially causing a
use-after-free.
