Make Operating Performance Points (OPP) library introductory chapter
a little more reader-friendly. Split the chapter into two sections,
highlight the definition with an example and minor rewording to be
verbose.

cpufreq table allocated by opp_init_cpufreq_table is better
freed by OPP layer itself. This allows future modifications to
the table handling to be transparent to the users.

Since the OPP API is only useful with an appropraite SoC-specific
implementation there is no point in offering the ability to enable
the API on general systems. Provide an ARCH_HAS OPP Kconfig symbol
which masks out the option unless selected by an implementation.

SoCs have a standard set of tuples consisting of frequency and
voltage pairs that the device will support per voltage domain. These
are called Operating Performance Points or OPPs. The actual
definitions of OPP varies over silicon versions. For a specific domain,
we can have a set of {frequency, voltage} pairs. As the kernel boots
and more information is available, a default set of these are activated
based on the precise nature of device. Further on operation, based on
conditions prevailing in the system (such as temperature), some OPP
availability may be temporarily controlled by the SoC frameworks.
To implement an OPP, some sort of power management support is necessary
hence this library depends on CONFIG_PM.
Contributions include:
Sanjeev Premi for the initial concept:

Kevin Hilman for converting original design to device-based.
Kevin Hilman and Paul Walmsey for cleaning up many of the function
abstractions, improvements and data structure handling.
Romit Dasgupta for using enums instead of opp pointers.
Thara Gopinath, Eduardo Valentin and Vishwanath BS for fixes and
cleanups.
Linus Walleij for recommending this layer be made generic for usage
in other architectures beyond OMAP and ARM.
Mark Brown, Andrew Morton, Rafael J. Wysocki, Paul E. McKenney for
valuable improvements.
