I've lost the context here. Please send this all together.

We've generally moved away from having variable property names (gpio and 
regulators are the big exceptions) as they are harder to parse.

I'm not clear why you'd need this. Just make qcom,fuse-level an array 
and search each 'qcom,fuse-level' for the matching level number.
