It can be just a regulator, but it can be anything else as well. That entity may have its own clock/volt/current tunables, etc.
changed behind the scene. Calling this operating performance point is misleading and doesn't align well with existing specs/features.
Yeah, but there are no voltage levels available here and that doesn't fit as a regulator then.
Understood. We have exactly same thing with SCPI but it controls both frequency and voltage referred as operating points. In general, this OPP terminology is used in SCPI/ACPI/SCMI specifications as both frequency and voltage control. I am bit worried that this binding might introduce confusions on the definitions. But it can be reworded/renamed easily if required.
Yeah, so far we have been looking at OPPs as freq-voltage pairs ONLY and that is changing. I am not sure if it going in the wrong direction really. Without frequency also it is an operating point for the domain. Isn't it?
