Okay, the code doesn't have any checks for it then and that needs to be fixed.

Just for my clarity, for platforms with special OPP bindings and so a different
compatible string like: "operating-points-v2-XYZ", should the compatible string
contain both "operating-points-v2" and the above one? It would be easier to
check for "operating-points-v2" in that case from core code.
