Are you sure this is the real issue? I'd be surprised if this is a
real limitation. And if it is, it either needs to be fixed in the ICC
framework or OPP shouldn't be getting path handles by default (and
maybe let the driver set the handles before using OPP APIs to change
BW). I'd lean towards the former.

This seems like a bandaid. Let's fix it correctly in ICC framework or
OPP framework.

I don't know what you mean by "peak-opp-configs" but I guess you are
referring to some kind of DT flag to say if you should vote for BW
directly or use the OPP framework? If so, I'm pretty sure that won't
fly. That's an OS implementation specific flag.
