+Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS)

+Located in 'cpu0-opp-list' node [to be provided ONLY by the bootloader]:

+- compatible           : Should be "operating-points-v2-sti"
+- opp{1..N}            : Each 'oppX' subnode will contain the following properties:
+ - opp-hz              : CPU frequency [Hz] for this OPP [See: ./opp.txt]
+ - st,avs              : List of available voltages [uV] indexed by process code
Add a unit suffix (-microvolt).
Sure.

+ - st,cuts             : Cut version this OPP is suitable for [0xFF means ALL]
+ - st,substrate                : Substrate version this OPP is suitable for [0xFF means ALL]
How about not present means all?
I think that would be an unsafe assumption.  If it's forgotten, then
we may try to run an invalid/dangerous voltage/frequency combination.

I'd really like 'all' to be defined an deliberate.
Okay.

+- st,syscfg-eng                : Phandle to Minor number and Pcode registers

Would the proposed nvmem binding work for this?
We already use sysconf for all of this type of stuff, as this
information is contained in ST's Sysconf banks.  Moving over to a new
API would be a huge move and would require lots of planning
discussions with ST.
Okay.
