> Define accessor APIs get the OPPs
> Check Users of accessor API
> 	DVFS
> 	constraints
> 	sysfs debug
> 	Define accessor api's eg:

> 		num = get_max_opp(VDD1);
> 		set_opp(index);

> Step 3: 
> 	Paul suggestion:
> 	VSEL values in opp table should be in terms of voltage
> 	Non TWL IC's need this

> Step4:
> 	Paul suggestion:
> 	VDD1 VDD2 dependencies for different chips
> 	Inter-connect load predictor is absent on omap3 and 
> hence VDD1-vdd2 dependency
> 	OMAP4
> 		interconnect loading can be measured from registers
> 		Multi-cores dependency

> Step 5:
> 	Paul suggestion:
> 	Board files adding OPPs, Modifying OPPs
