It's the case of v1, and I forgot updating it. Thanks for spotting it.

This is a binding for OPP, which does not define transition times.
As for cpufreq, we only need to represent a possible maximum transition
latency. The driver will ask regulator subsystem for voltage latency,
while the clock latency is defined in DT.

I'm not sure about that, since directly iterating over the property
means we have to take care of all these sanity checks done in API
of_property_read_u32_array().
