Infact the above "qcom,pvs" node is required mainly to act as a consumer
for the nvmem data provider ("qcom,qfprom") (using nvmem-cells = <&pvs_efuse>)
Then "qfprom" can be made to contain a "format_a" or "format_b" specific cell.

So all that is needed is, nvmem-cells = <&pvs_efuse_phandle> needs to be available
somewhere. The requirement is similar what is now done by "operating-points-v2-ti-cpu"
and the ti-cpufreq.c. There "operating-points-v2-ti-cpu" node, contains the syscon
register to read the efuse values. Similarly does defining a new
"operating-points-v2-krait-cpu" which would contain the nvmem-cells property look ok ?
This would avoid defining a new qcom,pvs node.

cpu@0 {
compatible = "qcom,krait";
enable-method = "qcom,kpss-acc-v1";
device_type = "cpu";
reg = <0>;
qcom,acc = <&acc0>;
qcom,saw = <&saw0>;
clocks = <&kraitcc 0>;
clock-names = "cpu";
cpu-supply = <&smb208_s2a>;
operating-points-v2 = <&cpu_opp_table>;
};

cpu_opp_table: opp_table {
compatible = "operating-points-v2-krait-cpu";

nvmem-cells = <&pvs_efuse_format_a>;
/*
* Missing opp-shared property means CPUs switch DVFS states
* independently.
*/

opp-1400000000 {
opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <1400000000>;
opp-microvolt-speed0-pvs0-v0 = <1250000>;
opp-microvolt-speed0-pvs1-v0 = <1175000>;
opp-microvolt-speed0-pvs2-v0 = <1125000>;
opp-microvolt-speed0-pvs3-v0 = <1050000>;

};
...
}

qfprom: qfprom@700000 {
compatible = "qcom,qfprom";
reg = <0x00700000 0x1000>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
ranges;
pvs_efuse_format_a: pvs {
reg = <0xc0 0x8>;
};
}
