nice to see this happen, a quick feedback:

I am not sure how this works - would an example of OMAP4430, 60, 70
help? they have completely different OPP entries.

Just my 2cents, If we change en to be a flag:
0 - add, but disable
1 - add (enabled)
we could extend this further if the definition is a flag, for example:
2 - add and disable IF any of notifier chain return failure
3- add but dont call notifier chain (e.g. OPPs that are present for All SoC)
in addition, SoC might have additional properties associated with each
OPP such a flag
could be split up to mean lower 16 bits as OPP library flag and higher
16 bit to mean SoC custom flag
Example - On certain SoC a specific type of power technique is
supposed to be used per OPP, such a flag
passed on via notifiers to SoC handler might be capable of
centralizing the OPP information into the DT.

error warn if the pp->length is not multiple of u32? we also expect
later on to be a multiple of 3(f,v,disable

Since we are updating the table out of context of the SoC users,
consider what might happen if someone where to operate on the OPP
after opp_add, but before opp_disable?
instead of having the pain of adding an OPP and then disabling it,
since the code will now move to core OPP
library itself, wont it be better to hold dev_opp_list_lock and update
the full table with a proper list walk - yes
the current opp_add and opp_disable apis would need refactoring to be
reusable. It will also save on
synchronize_rcu calls on multiple iterations of the list.

umm... but we override the return with 0? OPP add failure might
indicate the table is invalid/corrupted - or no memory.
What is the point in populating a bad table up? having a singular
function with direct access to internal structures
might save us these un-necessary dilemma.
