Yes, I'm aware of that series. That series is trying to define a BW
mapping for an existing frequency OPP table. This patch is NOT about
adding a mapping to an existing table. This patch is about adding the
notion of BW OPP tables where BW is the "key" instead of "frequency".

So let's not mixed up these two series.
