:-)
My current use case is to compute the 'dynamic-power-coefficient' thing
for IPA. With P=CV^2f, I can measure P and get f easily, but V is a bit
trickier (as of now at least). PM_OPP has the information I need, so it'd
be handy to expose it somewhere.

Understood.

Ah, right. The opp-microvolt binding is specified however, so I guess we
could expose that too ...

So, on Juno we do get voltage numbers from firmware, and those get
registered properly in PM_OPP, exactly like for Hikey960. So it's
probably the same problem in both cases.
FWIW, this is what I get on juno with my 'fix' applied:
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/opp/cpu0/*/supply-0/u_volt_target
820000
850000
900000
950000
1000000

You'll definitely know the code better than me so if you have a patch in
mind, please don't hesitate. I'll be happy to test it on my two boards
here :-)
Thanks,
Quentin
