While the change is fine, the commit log isn't. It isn't about
unsupportable voltage but frequency. The frequency the CPU is
currently running at, is not present in the OPP table and so there is
no corresponding OPP, hence no voltage supplies.

I have applied this patch with following change log:

commit 560d1bcad715c215e7ffe5d7cffe045974b623d0 (HEAD -> opp/linux-next)
Author: Dmitry Osipenko <digetx@xxxxxxxxx>

opp: Don't use IS_ERR on invalid supplies

_set_opp_custom() receives a set of OPP supplies as its arguments and
the caller of it passes NULL when the supplies are not valid. But
_set_opp_custom(), by mistake, checks for error by performing
IS_ERR(old_supply) on it which will always evaluate to false.

The problem was spotted during of testing of upcoming update for the
NVIDIA Tegra CPUFreq driver.
