There is another property which might be useful in this case:
"opp-microvolt-<name>" and then you can use API
dev_pm_opp_set_prop_name() to choose which voltage value to apply to
all OPPs.

opp-supported-hw property is more useful for the cases where only a
subset of frequencies will be supported for different versions of the
SoC. And what you need is a different voltage value for all
frequencies based on some h/w version.
