I am a bit confused and perhaps I am misreading your feedback.

Are you saying that:

"we don't need to identify which microVolts value in the OPP table corresponds
to which supply from the DT itself and we can do that with some hard coded
stuff" ?

If yes, then below is from an earlier email from you, which I feel is opposite
of what you are suggesting now.
