Actually I have checked the current kernel and none of the properties are
being configured from the device tree node. Hence, i thought it is the right
time modify the units to mV to support the PMI8998.


arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom-msm8974-sony-xperia-honami.dts does.

You still want to have the qcom,ovp-mv, even though it is not being
configured from device tree ?

Yes, please.

Sure.
