Nice, thanks.

Definition of operating-points is now a little different in the
original description - it still indicates tuple {freq,voltage}, where
as, this patch allows phandle to a different device's operating-points
to be used. - we might want to rephrase the description.

btw, to device-tree folks, I am not sure if it is OK to have different formats
for the same property like operating-points. At least I don't seem to
quickly be able to find any precedence.

please provide kernel-doc documentation for static function as well -
this is inline with the rest of the file.

dev_opp is not used until patch #2 - please introduce it in that patch.

if operating-points=<100000>, then we return Invalid OPP list
if operating-points=<&uart3>; (some phandle that does not have
operating-points), there is no helpful warning in log except -ENODEV is
returned - we might want to add some info here?
