I think i didn't understand this question. You mean that I should put
in the example how the standard l2 cache nodes are defined?

Isn't overkill to use the OPP v2 bindings to represent the the microvolt
related
to the le freq? Is the OPP v1 sufficient? Also I can't find a way to reflect
this specific
case where the l2 rates are changed based on the cpu freq value? Any idea
about that?
