So even we have a new OPP binding to describe the OPP, we have to leave these table as they are for backward compatibility?
Yes.
I could find the below excerpts from [1]:
"The compatibility rules say that new kernels must work with older device trees. If changes are required, they should be put into new properties; the old ones can then be deprecated but not removed. New properties should be optional, so that device trees lacking those properties continue to work. The device tree developers will provide a set of guidelines for the creation of future-proof bindings."
