The DT voltages do not cater to the broad range of devices. In some
particular cases the DT min voltage is slightly lower the voltage at
which the device cannot sustain a particular frequency in which case the
device just silently hangs. So best thing to do is to actually read the
device specific voltages dynamically which will guarantee a particular
device sustaining a particular frequency at the optimal voltage.
