All these APIs, which I have added the assert to now, are designed
with a single clk/freq in mind. They simply take a clock frequency
value as input and do something based on it. It only works fine with
single clk case, as more information is required for multiple clock
case, a freq value isn't sufficient here. In order to avoid abuse or
accidental use of the wrong API, these WARNs were required.

We need to provide new APIs for that, as I mentioned in the cover
letter and the other mail I sent you yesterday.

Specifically, if we want to have OPP finder API based on freq value,
then it needs to either have index + freq as input, or an array of
frequencies (one for each clk) as input.

Though I am not sure what you would need at the moment, as you can
also use opp-level for OPPs as they match UFS gears, that was my
understanding from earlier discussion.
