IIRC, it was added to prevent spurious duplicate OPP addition messages
during CPU hotplug. I will check it again.

No the SCPI protocol saves them and return just the pointer if it's
already populated.

Make sense will fix.

Ah I see a new function is added, will fix it. In-fact this driver was
written before that and was held up since the firmware was not stable.

Will fix it in next version.
