to my knowledge 41.5Mhz is not known to provide any performance 
benefits. you can also see [1] and add 41.5 (pm-wip-opp is the new 
branch where we are introducing opp layer.

The old /sys/power/vdd2_[opp|lock] was deprecated out. currently the 
control is for vdd1 OPP using cpufreq and indirect dependency for VDD2, 
is there a need for direct control of VDD2 freq?
