This is not really related to this patch is it? IMHO IRQ handling is
broken badly. Current support is for SmartReflex class3 - which does
not use the IRQ, Class2 and Class1.5 use it, but the current code
requires major fixes which I dont intend to support in this series.

omap_sr_data is added in arch/arm/mach-omap2/sr_device.c

With the current handling - it needs sr_data from which sr_info is
pulled out. in the current implementation, sr_data contains the voltdm
pointer from which sr_info is pulled out.

a) arch/arm/plat-omap/Kconfig
CONFIG_OMAP_SMARTREFLEX depends on PM.
b) SmartReflex is PM feature

I dont see a need to add redundant code here.
