It doesn't need to. There is actually an internal command table, and
not really sure about the mapping scheme though, but when software
then has only to care about the frequencies, and voltages will be
adjusted accordingly.
In the other hand, such hardcoded mechanism won't work very well
with incompatible power management ICs, so if there is such a
platform, we do need a way to fall back to using regulators.
