Hmm. Looking at Rockchip sources [1] more closely as opposed to the
Radxa tree I've been using as the basis, it does indeed show that
RK3588J and RK3588M use a different OPP table altogether (frequencies
are similar, but voltages differ).

We currently have an RK3588J based board in the mainline tree
(rk3588-edgeble-neu6b-io.dts), so it can't be ignored. However, given
that Rockchip sources only differentiate those OPPs by SoC revision,
and that is (currently?) known for each board at dtb compile time, it
seems easier to just include two different OPP tables for RK3588(S)
vs. RK3588J - thus avoiding all the headache with opp-supported-hw.
Similar to RK3399, yes.

Will split those out and send a separate version.

Same with DMC, but we don't currently have either DMC or NPU in the
mainline tree, so it sounds like something to be dealt with later :)
