Would -ENODATA fit better ??
wondered later on if 0 is better here and get_data with -ENODATA - for the actual code also..

will you really want to add several data entries there ? I don't see the point. Maybe I'm missing something.

I like the idea of having a void * to allow you to store anything there. But generally that's a 1 - 1 relation:

1 device/bus/(in this case) opp - 1 data.

I think I am lost here -> why device/bus/opp? this is a 1-many relationship. here is an example of it:
OPP by definition is a tuple (voltage,frequency).

for each OPP, we may have additional information which is custom to a specific SOC -> OMAP2 and OMAP1 have no SR module -> so I dont need to store SR nTarget value.

data type 1: OMAP34xx and OMAP3630 have SR, and nTarget is a *per chip* calibration value specific to an OPP -however, we have 5 OPPs (or upto 7 in the case of 3440 etc.) in omap34xx while omap3630 has upto 4 OPPs. in omap3630, we use ABB data which is in addition to nTarget (if my meager understanding of this is right)..

data type 2: The dependency of vdd1 OPP to vdd2 opp is variant based on SOC.

the types of data which is stored per OPP is changing all the time and in future we will have varied data again.

Now, based on your proposal as I understand,
struct omap2_data {
blah_o21
blah_o22
};

struct omap3_data {
blah_o31
blah_o32
blah_o33
}

struct omap4_data {
blah_o41
blah_o42
blah_o31
blah_o32
}

and so on (remember we may have shared or similar data between various SOCs at times)

redundancy, maintenance are the problems i see other than ability to have a module which uses blah_o31 to be generic and not know the difference between struct omap3_data and omap4_data
the resultant module code will look like:
if (cpu_is_omap3430()) {
	my_blaho31 = ((struct omap3_data *) get_opp_data(opp))->blah_o31;
} else if cpu_is...() {
..
}

now in the approach I took,
you could have:
struct sr_ntarget_type{
	unsigned long nTarget;
	something else if needed
}

And in SR driver, the module doesnot need to care which silicon it is running on.. it just does opp_get_data(opp,"sr_ntarget") and gets the correct data for that silicon on that OPP. It is much simpler and similar to the manner implemented in many other frameworks such as clock etc..
