No.

Yes.

Here are the different scenarios which can happen.
- Two CPUs have separate OPP tables, even if they are exact copy of
  each other, these CPUs don't share a clock line, but just v/f points
  as you said.

- Two CPUs use the same OPP table, i.e. both point to it, but
  "opp-shared" property is missing. This is same as above case. They
  just share the v/f points and this is the preferred way instead of
  duplicate OPP tables.

- Case two with "opp-shared" property present in the OPP table. The
  CPUs share clock-lines.

And this is exactly how we find out today if CPUs share a policy or
not.
