1. there is one branch where I don't need to read the values: when the
   "-names" property does not exist, the DT binding documentation says
   that the value property should only contain one value, the default
   one. So in that case I early return
     return fwnode_property_read_u32(fwnode, vals_prop, amplitude);

2. I thought that I shouldn't check whether the size of the
   "tx-p2p-microvolt-names" array is equal to the size of
   "tx-p2p-microvolt". Rob Herring says (if I understand correctly) that
   kernel shouldn't validate device-tree, that we have dt-schema for
   that...
