Yes I started thinking about that too. I think there is a requirement
to do the scaling via the voltage processor for the higher modes.
And there needs to be some way to automatically change to a lower
OPP in some cases.

For normal OPPs, using the twl regulator directly should be OK.

For the higher modes, maybe we could pass the callback functions
from arch/arm/mach-omap2/voltage.c for the twl regulator so the
voltage processor hardware can handle them directly. Or add a
separate regulator driver operating the voltages like Nishanth
posted patches for earlier.
