The side effect of this patch shows up when opp_disable() and opp_enable()
are used.

For example,
1. dev->opp_disable(2GHz); /* 2GHz is the fastest and 1.6 is the second */
2. init devfreq of dev; /* setting max_freq @ 1.6G by this patch */
3. dev->opp_enable(2GHz);
4. 2GHz is still not active because max_freq is now 1.6GHz.
