Specifying the absolute limits which the regulator driver necessarily 
already knows doesn't seem particularly useful... Moreover, the RK3399 
datasheet specifies the operating range for GPU_VDD as 0.80-1.20V, so at 
the very least, allowing the regulator to go outside that range seems 
inadvisable. However there's a separate datasheet for the RK3399-T 
variant, which does specify this 875-975mV range and a maximum GPU clock 
of 600MHz, along with the same 1.5GHz max. Cortex-A72 clock as 
advertised for RK3399S, so it seems quite possible that these GPU 
constraints here are in fact intentional as well. Obviously users are 
free to overclock and overvolt if they wish - I do for my 
actively-cooled RK3399 board :) - but it's a different matter for 
mainline to force it upon them.

Thanks,
Robin.
