Make that ON, ONLP, RET, OFF voltages! Sigh..

Ideally speaking - this is what we want:
PMIC says - on this rail - I can give max x V and min y V. and when
you(kernel) gets control, expect Voltage = ON.

OMAP requirements - which ever wierd ones they might be - will be very
specific to OMAP variants.
some factors such as timing closures also come into play -> ON, ONLP,
RET and OFF are OMAP reqs.

Now, we can have combinations like TPS+TWL+OMAP4430 (yep - those do
exist) or something like custom PMIC+OMAP4460
or many other combinations..

You could have additional complications as well - e.g. PMIC OFF path
is definitely our favourite.
writing 0x0 to TWL causes 0V and a 1 is 709..mV or 607..mV, 0x0 on TPS is 500mV!

my point being: framework cannot expect any assumption about the PMIC
and the person writing the support for a new PMIC should be completely
ignorant for which OMAP he/she is writing for.

I think it belongs to VP/VC data and not in OPP file (which was meant
for OPPs in the first place).
we might want to think about replacing these with device tree data
someday - OPP data makes it
kinda hard to distinguish IMHO when we do that.
