I was curious so I dug. It turns out that it _is_ using the OPP. It's
just that the kernel driver currently assumes that the initial rate is
the max rate. :-P You can actually see in msm_dss_parse_clock() that
it walks through each of its clocks at boot and records the boot rate
and stashes it as the "max_rate". That's not a scheme I've seen done
commonly, so if nothing else it deserves a comment in the commit
message.

One other note is that I think there are _two_ places in the dtsi that
are setting this same clock rate, right? The parent node `mdss`, which
you're not touching, and the child `mdss_mdp`, which you are touching.
Seems like you should just do it in one place. If it needs to be done
by the parent then the child could just assume that the clock has
already been set by the parent.
