So you are saying that we go ahead without regulators if a incorrect
values are present in opp-microvolt? i.e. even if the length property
was invalid, we return 0 from this function.

The problem here is that we will try changing the frequency without
changing the regulator in that case, and it might not be safe for the
platform, isn't it?
