Thanks Ulf. I found a bug in OPP core because you cc'd me here :)

Maybe I misunderstood your comment here, but there are two ways of
scaling the voltage of a device depending on if it is a regulator (and
can be modeled as one in the kernel) or a power domain.

In case of Qcom earlier (when we added the performance-state stuff),
the eventual hardware was out of kernel's control and we didn't wanted
(allowed) to model it as a virtual regulator just to pass the votes to
the RPM. And so we did what we did.

But if the hardware (where the voltage is required to be changed) is
indeed a regulator and is modeled as one, then what Dmitry has done
looks okay. i.e. add a supply in the device's node and microvolt
property in the DT entries.
