TI's smart-reflex technology does something similar. It grades the CPU according to the lowest voltages it can support at a given clock frequency and writes it to a register on the chip during fabrication. Once the chip is shipped on a device, the smart-reflex driver can choose a lower voltages for each OPP, (if the silicon supported it). Part of Titans lv, xlv, ulv and ideal kernels and settings also attain similar goals as smart-reflex.
