I think this is a fair assumption, so we could init the vddmin to be the
same as the retention voltage for the domain (or even drop the
parameter.)

Isn't it higher? I guess smartreflex can scale voltages even up from the
nominal level if we have a really old and/or bad silicon. Limiting this
to max opp would be bad, no? Maybe we could use max opp voltage + some
margin though... but what would be a safe margin here?

Yea, I can add those for next version.
