Hi Daniel, Angelo Sir,

Thanks for the issue report and suggestions.

Is it possible to modify the value of proc_max_volt and sram_max_volt
to 1310000 in mt7622_platform_data as the highest voltage declared in
mt7622.dtsi and then give it a try?

Sorry, I need someone help to check this on mt7622 since I don't have
mt7622 platform..

Thanks.
