I think that a comment in the DTS why these operating points aren't available
in this board will make more clear why the nodes are being deleted.

AFAIK Thomas restricted the maximum OPP, because for A15 freqs > 1.8GHz the
INT rail would need to be scaled up as well since there's a maximum voltage
difference between the ARM and INT rails before the system becomes unstable:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2014-July/276766.html
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/2/419

The ChromiumOS vendor tree uses a virtual regulator driver that makes sure
the maximum voltage skew is between a limit. But that never made to mainline:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/chromeos-3.8/arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos5420-peach-pit.dtsi#90
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/29/28

Did that change and there's infrastructure in mainline now to cope with that?
If that's the case, I think it would be good to mention in the commit message.
