If possible, the "Speed Binned Flag" should be dynamically 
queried and update the "available frequency steps" list.

* USB not working (?)

Comment 1 by Nikolaus Schaller, Apr 10, 2020

We have submitted code upstream that switches to OPPv2 format which 
allows to make the 1GHz OPP depend on the speed binned bit. This 
works well.
Unfortunately the dm3730 (GTA04A5) is a little unreliable at 1GHz.
It can be demonstrated by running kmscube on Bullseye without SGX 
and switching cpufreq-set -f between 800M and 1G. At 1G there are 
drawing artefacts. The process may also break with SIGBUS or SIGILL. 
This indicates that the DM3730 isn't running at the correct OPP 
voltage.
Maybe, 1GHz also needs Smart Reflex in operation while the standard 
ti-cpufreq code just switches voltages to predefined values.
