That's correct. Since the platform uses SCMI and SCMI spec[1] supports Voltage
protocol and there is upstream driver[2] to support it, I see no point in
duplicating the support with another custom/non-standard solution.

Yes, it should be easy to extend the implementation and add support for
voltage protocol.
If you still face any issues, please ask any queries on the list cc-ing
