I've a simular patch here:

https://github.com/jwrdegoede/linux-sunxi/commit/6a30b7d5be6012b81e5e1439a444e41c0ac1afc1

I did not submit this upstream yet as it is part of a series to enable the otg
controller on the bananapi which needs axp-usb-power-supply support for which
the actual powersupply driver changes are still pending.

As you can see other then you adding the cpu operating points are patches are
identical, which is good :)

IMHO we should just stick with the standard operating points unless we know
that there are stability issues with them (such as e.g. on the A10 OlinuxIno Lime).

Regards,

Hans
