Yes, I know. There's lot of if (soc_is_exynos5420()) and if (soc_is_exynos5422())
checks in the driver though so I guess those differences are taken into account.

I haven't reviewed that driver in detail though so maybe something is missing.

I'm not against adding all the missing operating points btw, I'm just trying to
make sure that's safe to do so in mainline.

Fair enough.

Interesting, thanks a lot for checking. So if the voltage levels for 1.9 GHz
and 2.0 GHz are the same than 1.8 GHz, then I agree with you that either is
safe to add these OPPs in mainline or the problem is already present there.
