I was referring to a comment at dev_pm_opp_set_rate():

/*
* For IO devices which require an OPP on some platforms/SoCs
* while just needing to scale the clock on some others
* we look for empty OPP tables with just a clock handle and
* scale only the clk. This makes dev_pm_opp_set_rate()
* equivalent to a clk_set_rate()
*/

Maybe we just need to make sure that the OPP table exists
(devm_pm_opp_of_add_table) to prevent the function from bailing out
early.
