Even without changing anything, the coupler seems to work OK:
vsram_others 1 1 0 normal 800mV
0mA 750mV 800mV
10006000.syscon:power-controller-domain 1
0mA 0mV 0mV
Vgpu 2 2 0 normal 800mV
0mA 606mV 800mV
13000000.gpu-mali 1
0mA 800mV 800mV
10006000.syscon:power-controller-domain 1
0mA 0mV 0mV
Am I missing something?
