Will do, as soon as I've gotten your feedback on this mail.

This was my first thought as well, but then Viresh told me that the OPP
framework already has logic for parsing and using this.
If we call dev_pm_opp_set_prop_name(<name>)
We will automatically use all the named-properties with that suffix (e.g.):
opp-microvolt-<name>
opp-microamp-<name>
opp-fuse-corner-<name>
if and only if they exist, otherwise the regular properties will be used:
opp-microvolt
opp-microamp
opp-fuse-corner
This also means that not all OPPs will need the named variants,
e.g. if all the speedbins have the same fuse-corner:
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin0 = <1>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin1 = <1>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin2 = <1>;
this can simplified to:
opp-fuse-corner = <1>;
Another reason why I think that using named-properties might be good is
because I recently found out that certain Qualcomm SoCs have several fuse
revisions for each speedbin, e.g. msm8996 SG has 8 fuse revisions per
speedbin:
https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/kernel/msm-3.18/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom/msm8996pro.dtsi?h=msm-3.18#n62
https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/kernel/msm-3.18/tree/drivers/regulator/cpr3-hmss-regulator.c?h=msm-3.18#n88
Which means that some SoCs (in worst case) will actually need:
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin0-rev0 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin0-rev1 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin0-rev2 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin0-rev3 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin0-rev4 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin0-rev5 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin0-rev6 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin0-rev7 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin1-rev0 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin1-rev1 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin1-rev2 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin1-rev3 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin1-rev4 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin1-rev5 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin1-rev6 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin1-rev7 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin2-rev0 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin2-rev1 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin2-rev2 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin2-rev3 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin2-rev4 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin2-rev5 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin2-rev6 = <x>;
opp-fuse-corner-speedbin2-rev7 = <x>;
For each OPP.
Fortunately, it's not always this messy, some SoCs only have a single
fuse revision.
I think that having named-properties probably helps if more speedbins or
fuse-revisions are added.
I guess the alternative would be to do like downstream, where they have a
bunch of arrays instead, but then we wouldn't be able to use the logic
from the OPP framework.
qcom,cpr-corner-fmax-map =
/* Speed bin 0 */
<1 6 9 14 19>, //fuse rev0
<1 6 9 14 19>, //fuse rev1
<3 6 9 14 19>, //fuse rev2
<3 6 9 14 19>, //fuse rev3
<3 6 9 14 19>, //fuse rev4
<3 6 9 14 19>, //fuse rev5
<3 6 9 14 19>, //fuse rev6
<3 6 9 14 19>, //fuse rev7
/* Speed bin 1 */
<1 6 9 14 19>, //fuse rev0

/* Speed bin 2 */
<1 6 9 14 19>, //fuse rev0
<1 6 9 14 19>, //fuse rev1
<3 6 9 14 19>, //fuse rev2
<3 6 9 14 19>, //fuse rev3
<3 6 9 14 19>, //fuse rev4
<3 6 9 14 19>, //fuse rev5
<3 6 9 14 19>, //fuse rev6
<3 6 9 14 19>; //fuse rev7
