reg : operating voltage in microvolt

What happens if there's more than one supply that needs to be varied?

Each rail's dvfs-table will have OPP nodes defined for different 
voltages and each OPP node contains frequency for all clocks affecting 
that rail.

Just for presentation:

In following example when <&ref 1> clock rate is set to 500000, sm0 need 
to operate at 750000000 micrvolt and sm1 at 800000000.

dvfs-rail-1 {
      reg_id = <&sm0>;
      opp@750000000 {
              frequency-table@102 {
                      frequencies = <&osc 0 314000>, <&ref 1 500000>;
              };
      };
};

dvfs-rail-2 {
     reg_id = <&sm1>;
     opp@800000000 {
             frequency-table@102 {
                       frequencies = <&ref 1 5000000>;
             };
     };
};

tolerance : can be used to calculate required voltage. (optional,
can be replaced by other relevant parameter to calculate required
voltage)

What are the semantics of this field?

I used "tolerance" just for example to derive the range of voltage.
May be as done for OMAP,
regulator_set_voltage(mpu_reg, volt - tol, volt + tol);
