Is that the "opp-level" thing which would allow that?
I can see some DT files with regulators(?) using it e.g. [1].
It looks flexible, the opp-hz is not hard requirement,
the opp-level can be used instead IIUC.

It might be a next step which might meet Daniel's needs.
If that 'level' can be any number and frequency is not available
then EM must have 'level' filed in the struct em_perf_state
for this kind of new devices. I'm open for such change.
We can discuss this as a next step. We would need to find some examples
how this new thing would be used.
