My point is that you don't know how the bootloader has configured the 
system at the point when this code executes.  You don't know what voltage 
level VDD1 and VDD2 are at; you don't know what state the clock tree is 
in.  You only know this when you change OPPs.  And the selection of the 
OPP at startup is use-case dependent.

So as far as I can tell, this code shouldn't be there.  If you want to do 
something like this, then you should add some generic way (e.g., a kernel 
command line parameter) to set the VDD1 and VDD2 OPPs at boot.
