Please explain why this is useful at all.
Under what circumstance is "Set the CPU voltage to 1.2V" a useful thing
for a user, sysadmin, or application to do ?
The voltage something runs at is utterly irrelevant to all the above.
Given it's inherently tied to the speed a chip runs at, which makes
a lot more sense for all the above scenarios to change, we export that instead.
AFAICS, exposing voltages to userspace would be completely pointless.
