For big cores there are 20 frequencies (2100MHz .. 200MHz). Each SoC 
might belong to one of the 3 production 'sets' and each set contains 14 
so called 'asv groups', which assign the certain voltage values for each 
of those 20 frequencies (the lower asv group means lower voltage needed 
for given frequency).
