IMHO, making functions return 0 will give you run time issues when opp related
APIs are called in non cpufreq path. So your patch will for the time being solve
the build issue but not runtime issue. Hence I suggested to compile out opp.h if
you are not using cpufreq. Solving a build issue is not the right fix for this.
