Hello Kevin,

I could rename this API to what you have suggested. Yes we do need voltdm and dev.
Let us say I have three devices in a voltdm and I need to maintain a request for each
of these devices.

When a omap_device_set_rate API is called by the device to lower its rate the voltage
request will automatically get lowered.

Ok will do.

I do not understand this comment. But I will surely look into this part of code.
Btw this code is now more tested out with OMAP4 internally.

IMHO only as of now only one request per device needs to be tracked. A device the volt
domain to be at only one particular voltage at any instance.
