Exactly.

For MT7622 platform data, I think it is proper to configure as:
.proc_max_volt = 1310000,
.sram_max_volt = 1350000,  // since mt6380_vm_reg ldo only supporting
{..., 1300000, 1350000, 1400000} as you mentioned.

For MT7623 platform data, it is required to add a new one.
.proc_max_volt = 1300000,
.sram_max_volt = 0,  // since no sram-supply like you said.

If MT7622 and MT7623 supplied voltage issues can be fixed by above
platform data, feel free to send the fix patch or inform me to do that.

Thanks for your help! :)
