It can be just a regulator, but it can be anything else as well. That
entity may have its own clock/volt/current tunables, etc.

Yeah, but there are no voltage levels available here and that doesn't
fit as a regulator then.

Yeah, so far we have been looking at OPPs as freq-voltage pairs ONLY
and that is changing. I am not sure if it going in the wrong
direction really. Without frequency also it is an operating point for
the domain. Isn't it?
