I still fail to understand why the override is not a good way to solve
the issue.

There's no point IMHO to duplicate the HW description since is the only
difference between the Exynos5422 and Exynos5800 SoCs AFAIK.

As Krzysztof said, contiguous ordering is more natural and easier to
read and I agree with him.

But yes, I agree with you that the OPP tables names are misleading at the
very least for not saying wrong. So yes, either {cluster0,a7,kfc}_opp_table
as you suggest are much better possible names and the same for the a15 one.
