this conflicts with the OPP layer implementation. this structure will
disappear for good.

Okay, I wasn't sure what to use. The omap-pm branch uses omap_opp for
the mpu frequencies. However it looks like struct prcm_config is used
in linux-next for mpu frequencies, but there are deprecated comments
around this struct definition so I'm not sure where what struct I
should be using.

Kevin can probably comment on opp upstream plans.


Ah yes, another question:
The power variable in struct omap_opp never gets initialized
with a sane value, something is wrong...


You're right, this last patch won't work on linux-next, it seems quite
a bit has changed in the omap specific. Previously board files can
register their OPP table which is an array of struct omp_opp, which is
exactly what I do for Droid in our android-omap branch.

I'm hoping some omap folks can offer some suggestions for what needs
to be changed.
