 Infact the above "qcom,pvs" node is required mainly to act as a consumer
 for the nvmem data provider ("qcom,qfprom") (using nvmem-cells = <&pvs_efuse>)
 Then "qfprom" can be made to contain a "format_a" or "format_b" specific cell.

 So all that is needed is, nvmem-cells = <&pvs_efuse_phandle> needs to be available
 somewhere. The requirement is similar what is now done by "operating-points-v2-ti-cpu"
 and the ti-cpufreq.c. There "operating-points-v2-ti-cpu" node, contains the syscon
 register to read the efuse values. Similarly does defining a new 
 "operating-points-v2-krait-cpu" which would contain the nvmem-cells property look ok ? 
 This would avoid defining a new qcom,pvs node.
 
	cpu@0 {
		compatible = "qcom,krait";
		enable-method = "qcom,kpss-acc-v1";
		device_type = "cpu";
		reg = <0>;
		qcom,acc = <&acc0>;
		qcom,saw = <&saw0>;
		clocks = <&kraitcc 0>;
		clock-names = "cpu";
		cpu-supply = <&smb208_s2a>;
		operating-points-v2 = <&cpu_opp_table>;
	};

	cpu_opp_table: opp_table {
		compatible = "operating-points-v2-krait-cpu";

		nvmem-cells = <&pvs_efuse_format_a>;
		/*
		 * Missing opp-shared property means CPUs switch DVFS states
		 * independently.
		 */

		opp-1400000000 {
			opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <1400000000>;
			opp-microvolt-speed0-pvs0-v0 = <1250000>;
			opp-microvolt-speed0-pvs1-v0 = <1175000>;
			opp-microvolt-speed0-pvs2-v0 = <1125000>;
			opp-microvolt-speed0-pvs3-v0 = <1050000>;

		};
		...
	}
 
	qfprom: qfprom@700000 {
		compatible      = "qcom,qfprom";
		reg             = <0x00700000 0x1000>;
		#address-cells  = <1>;
		#size-cells     = <1>;
		ranges;
		pvs_efuse_format_a: pvs {
			reg = <0xc0 0x8>;
		};
	}
