The NPU can scale to different operating state from idle to normal to
turbo. Attach a passive devfreq that will scale the NPU frequency with the
CPU with the use of OPP table and opp-required properties.

Posted as RFC to understand if it's the correct way to handle this...

DT patch will come later.

I guess this should be devm_clk_get_optional_enabled() otherwise this patch
will break backward compatibility. Moreover, we should bail out early if
npu->clk is NULL.

why do we need that one? I guess this is exactly what platform_set_drvdata() is
doing, right?
