personal choice I guess, Romit prefered his email id added Kevin and I 
did not.

I think we discussed it a little earlier in the chain
http://marc.info/?t=128152609200064&r=1&w=2
the operations of get_freq and get_voltage dont make sense to be used on 
a disabled OPP. if we are using it so, we need to report an error to the 
user and log it for debugging.

The intent is as follows:
a) find_freq_exact is the function to use for finding the opp which is 
disabled (without the opp pointer, you cant query voltage and frequency 
anyways).
b) to query this, you need to know the opp frequency anyways, so it 
makes no usage sense for get_freq or get_voltage to be able to be using 
a disabled opp.

Do we think it makes sense to add this info to the documentation as well?

ouch.. you are correct.. it is a mistake that got introduced in one of 
the merges we did.. the matching check
if (temp_opp->enabled && temp_opp->rate == freq) {
should have been
if (temp_opp->enabled == enabled && temp_opp->rate == freq) {

Thanks for catching it.

yet another documentation error.. thanks for catching.
ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) is returned instead of NULL..

how about "
Returns *opp and *freq is populated with the match if found, else 
returns ERR_PTR in case of error and should be handled using IS_ERR.

thanks.. good catch.. should have checked for dev and freq on entry..
added in the to be posted v2

Suggest replacing with:
Returns *opp and *freq is populated with the match if found, else 
returns ERR_PTR in case of error and should be handled using IS_ERR.
