The probably most "convenient" and also future-proof solution upstream 
for that is to define voltage ranges á la



opp-200000000 {

		opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <200000000>;

		opp-microvolt = <950000 950000 1150000>;



};

and so on.

And then adapt the regulator-min-microvolt of the logic regulator like

vdd_logic: DCDC_REG1 {

	regulator-name = "vdd_logic";

	regulator-min-microvolt = <1050000>;

...
};

That way all opp-points will be taken, but its ensured, that vdd_log 
never goes below 1.05 V

That might be true for your boards, but note that the required voltage 
is per "leakage level" defined in efuse bits - something we do not 
support for Rockchip upstream currently - see [1]

You will see no complaints from the module , but you will see the SoC 
crashing if both is running at the same time - see rkvdec-opp-table
