OPP: decouple dt properties in opp_parse_supplies()
The opp-microwatt property was added with the intention of providing platforms a way to specify a precise value for the power consumption of a device at a given OPP to enable better energy-aware scheduling decisions by informing the kernel of the total static and dynamic power of a device at a given OPP, removing the reliance on the EM subsystem's often flawed estimations. This property is parsed by opp_parse_supplies(), which creates a hard dependency on the opp-microvolt property. Some platforms, such as Apple Silicon, do not describe their device's voltage regulators in the DT as they cannot be controlled by the kernel and/or rely on opaque firmware algorithms to control their voltage and current characteristics at runtime. We can, however, experimentally determine the power consumption of a given device at a given OPP, taking advantage of opp-microwatt to provide EAS on such devices as was initially intended. Allow platforms to specify and consume any subset of opp-microvolt, opp-microamp, or opp-microwatt without a hard dependency on opp-microvolt to enable this functionality on such platforms.
