This is what dummy supplies are for?

So there's no known obstacle to putting enumeration of supported
voltages into the OPP core then?  I'm a bit confused here.

Ah, so each board duplicates the OPP tables then, or there's an
expectation that if there's some limit then they'll copy and modify the
table?  If that's the case then it's a bit redundant to do filtering
indeed.
