This case consider the devfreq device using OPP because devfreq_set_freq_table()
get the number of OPP entry in OPP list before setting the min_freq/max_freq.
If the devfreq device don't use the OPP entry, devfreq_set_freq_table()
will return without any operation.

IMHO, when devfreq device uses the OPP table including the frequency,
min_freq/max_freq should show the correct value as CPUFREQ framework.
