The reason probably is that errors about supported voltages were handled
incorrecly in opp code in former times. Then someone fixed and
cpufreq did not work on omap3 at all due to twl-regulator not specifying
voltages for VDD1.
Then I did a fix "regulator: twl: voltage lists for vdd1/2 on twl4030"
which is still living in linux-next/pending-fixes (and probably also
in Nikolaus's trees). Mark Brown
did apparently not send his pull request.

As a side effect of all that voltage checking corrections these
errors are unveiled.
