At this point, can we really say that the voltage has changed?

exynos_asv_update_cpu_opps()

...
ret = dev_pm_opp_adjust_voltage()
if (!ret)
em_dev_update_chip_binning()
...

dev_pm_opp_adjust_voltage() also returns 0 when the voltage value stays
the same?

The comment for the dev_pm_opp_adjust_voltage() says that it
returns 0 if no modification was done or modification was
successful. So I cannot distinguish in that driver code, but
also there is no additional need to do it IMO (even framework
doesn't do this).
