[V4,2/3] OPP: Allow multiple OPP tables to be passed via DT

On some platforms (Like Qualcomm's SoCs), it is not decided until
runtime on what OPPs to use. The OPP tables can be fixed at compile
time, but which table to use is found out only after reading some efuses
(sort of an eeprom) and knowing characteristics of the SoC.

To support such platform we need to pass multiple OPP tables per device
and hardware should be able to choose one and only one table out of
those.

Update OPP-v2 bindings to support that.

they are more like prom than eeprom in many instances.

With some SoCs like AM335x - thanks to some brain dead incompatible
hardware design choices, this might end up as a big list or various
OPP tables. but overall, I must prefer this approach as well.

Thanks for proposing this. will be great to see examples documented in
bindings doc as well.

With no further issues,

Will replace.
