Hi Bjorn,

Yes, the DVFSRC (dynamic voltage and frequency scaling resource
collector) is a proprietary hardware of Mediatek, which is used to
collect the requests from system and turn into the decision of minimum
Vcore voltage and minimum DRAM frequency to fulfill those requests, and
the "voltage request signal" is the hardware signal which from the PCIe
hardware to the DVFSRC module to request a specific Vcore voltage.

I will add its full name in the next version, thanks for your review.

Thanks.
