As stage 1 of the transition, I dont have any complaints, but for SoC
level, at least on OMAP, it is not just regulator and clock, we have
additional tweaks to do - like ABB, AVS etc.

What would you suggest as the strategy to introduce SoC specific
handlers for voltage notifiers that can co-exist with this?

for example - we should not depend on cpufreq in a generic clock based
dvfs approach. we would like to allow devfreq also to transition to this.
