This new API would be required when handling multiple regulators.
You can check the example 4 in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/opp/opp.txt for multiple regulators.

When we specify multiple regulator voltages in device tree, we are not
able to access the secondary supply voltages.
Because the dev_pm_opp_get_voltage only returns the first supply
voltages, this new API is required to get the specific supply.

For the users who only use one supply, they can use
dev_pm_opp_get_voltage to get the voltage data from an opp.
But if the users who use more than one supply, they will need this API
to get their voltage data from OPP.
The users should know about the supply count while creating opp table by
using dev_pm_opp_set_regulators function.
By using this API, the users can get the voltages by using index to
specify which supplies they want.

The following is a simple example to get multiple regulators by this
API.
for (i = 0; i < regulator_num; i++)
	target_volt[i] = dev_pm_opp_get_voltage_supply(opp, i);
