I thought the #<name>-cells property is used to pass arguments along with the
phandle, so something like this:

supply0: regulator@f8000000 {
        regulator-cells = 1;
        ...
}

cpu@1 {
        cpu-supply = <&supply0 XYZ>
}

But if we can define something like:

supply0: regulator@f8000000 {
        regulator-cells or microvolt-cells = 1 or 3;
        ...
}

And then do:

cpu@1 {
        cpu-supply = <&supply0>
        operating-points-v2 = "&opp-table";
}

opp-table: table {

        ...

        opp0 {
                opp-hz = ...;
                ...
                opp-microvolt = <one or three values here>
        }
}

then it will be very simple. Also, this would mean that with multiple
regulators, we can have one regulator supporting single microvolts
value and other supporting tar/min/max values..

Yeah, the bindings are incomplete, but there are no users yet, which
need the triplet thing. So, its all working just fine.
