I think this is questionable to be in DT and if it is, it's something 
that's hardly specific to ST or this block. IIRC, we already have a way 
to specify minimum OPPs.

This binding is only needed on some STM32 SoC when DVFS is activated
with low frequency setting in opp. The value also depends of the targeted
video format and framerate.

It is not an opp because it doesn't define a voltage-current-frequency 
combination
but only set a minimum target for the CPUs frequency to guaranty a good 
reaction
time when handling IRQs for the sensor.

As those 2 things are not in the DT, then neither should this value be.

OPPs can be frequency only. This is pretty clearly defining the CPU
must Operate at a certain minimum Performance Point.

Hi Rob,

My goal here wasn't to define an OPP for the CPU since it is the camera 
interface node
but to avoid let the CPU go to down.
I haven't found how to use OPP bindings, can you provide me hints or 
examples of how
I should do it?

Thanks,
Benjamin
