Most of these parameters are required by OMAP for VP/VC configuration. I
agree that these parameters need to be segregated better to have PM IC
specific, OMAP specific and Board specific parameters. But I do not
understand why you are saying that these are TWL specific.

Can TPS65023 be controlled via VC/VP over i2c4? If so then these
parameters will be needed by VC/VP to control the PM IC.
If not, then there is no need to hook up your PMIC with OMAP voltage
layer. You can perhaps use regulator framework for setting the voltage.
