Feel free to post an RFC series for what you're proposing.  

IMHO, even the voltage layer should not care about these conversions.
The voltage layer should care about voltages, and the PMIC layer should
handle these conversions.  IOW, this stuff is best abstracted in the
PMIC code, or board- or SoC-specific hooks that can be registered with
the PMIC.

If you pick this up as part of your voltage series (or more likely as a
pre-requisite of your voltage series) we can surely drop it from this
series, at it doesn't really belong with the OPP series.

There are no upstream users of this yet, so dropping it is easy. :)
