Add missing 2000MHz & 1900MHz OPPs (for A15 cores) and 1400MHz OPP
(for A7 cores).  Also update common Odroid-XU3 Lite/XU3/XU4 thermal
cooling maps to account for new OPPs.

Since new OPPs are not available on all Exynos5422/5800 boards modify
dts files for Odroid-XU3 Lite (limited to 1.8 GHz / 1.3 GHz) & Peach
Pi (limited to 2.0 GHz / 1.3 GHz) accordingly.

Tested on Odroid-XU3 and XU3 Lite.

I think that a comment in the DTS why these operating points aren't available
in this board will make more clear why the nodes are being deleted.

Ok, I will add these comments in the next patch revision.

AFAIK Thomas restricted the maximum OPP, because for A15 freqs > 1.8GHz the
INT rail would need to be scaled up as well since there's a maximum voltage
difference between the ARM and INT rails before the system becomes unstable:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2014-July/276766.html
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/2/419

The ChromiumOS vendor tree uses a virtual regulator driver that makes sure
the maximum voltage skew is between a limit. But that never made to mainline:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/chromeos-3.8/arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos5420-peach-pit.dtsi#90
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/29/28

Did that change and there's infrastructure in mainline now to cope with that?
If that's the case, I think it would be good to mention in the commit message.

I was not aware of this limitation and AFAIK mainline has currently
no code to handle it.  I also cannot find any code to handle this in
Hardkernel's vendor kernel for Odroid-XU3 board.

Do you know whether this problem exists also on Exynos5422/5800
SoCs or only on Exynos5420 one?  I see that ChromiumOS uses virtual
regulator code also on Exynos5800 SoC based Peach Pi board but was
the problem actually present on this board?

[ I added Arjun to Cc:, maybe he can help in explaining this issue
  (unfortunately Inderpal's email is no longer working). ]

Please also note that on Exynos5422/5800 SoCs the same ARM rail
voltage is used for 1.9 GHz & 2.0 GHz OPPs as for the 1.8 GHz one.
IOW if the problem exists it is already present in the mainline
kernel.
