The actual VDD09_CA55 voltage is controlled by the external PMIC
(RAA215300).  It is the responsibility of the system designer to make
sure VDD09_CA55 is at 0.9V when BOOTPLLCA[1:0] is strapped for OD,
as CPU core clock rates higher than 1.1 GHz need a higher core voltage.
I don't think it hurts to supply the higher core voltage while
running the CPU core at low core frequencies, except for extra power
consumption.

To control VDD09_CA55 dynamically, the CPU cores should have cpu-supply
properties pointing to the regulator controlling it (raa215300).
I haven't checked how Linux behaves when no cpu-supply property is
present, or when it points to a fixed regulator.

I am also wondering if other opps (1.1/1.5/1.6/1.8 GHz) should be
added, too?  And probably any opp above 1.1GHz opp should be tagged with
"turbo-mode"?
