Right, the OPP in my example define the minimum required voltage for each frequency. This is in accordance to the OPP binding. But for this chip the datasheet explicitly says that it is ok to power the cpu rail with up to 1.4V, regardless of the current operating frequency. So this 1.4V is really the upper bound I would like to pass to the regulator framework. This ensures that the driver still works properly even if the external regulator can't scale down to the minimum (or in other words optimal) voltage.
One more query. You have mentioned earlier and I just wanted to confirm this. In your platform/board regulator only supports one voltage, i.e. 1.4 uV, and it we can't get lower values out of regulator ? If that's the case, why are you looking to use regulator at all?
