And who needs to use this new API ? It would be better to add the user in the
same series to make sure this really gets used.

This new API would be required when handling multiple regulators.
You can check the example 4 in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/opp/opp.txt for multiple regulators.

When we specify multiple regulator voltages in device tree, we are not
able to access the secondary supply voltages.
Because the dev_pm_opp_get_voltage only returns the first supply
voltages, this new API is required to get the specific supply.

For the users who only use one supply, they can use
dev_pm_opp_get_voltage to get the voltage data from an opp.
But if the users who use more than one supply, they will need this API
to get their voltage data from OPP.
The users should know about the supply count while creating opp table by
using dev_pm_opp_set_regulators function.
By using this API, the users can get the voltages by using index to
specify which supplies they want.

The following is a simple example to get multiple regulators by this
API.
for (i = 0; i < regulator_num; i++)
	target_volt[i] = dev_pm_opp_get_voltage_supply(opp, i);

Fair enough. I couldn't find anything wrong with the patch. Will it be
possible to send this patch as part of a series which uses the new API
? So that we are sure of somebody using it eventually.

This new API is suitable for the users that required to access for
multiple regulators. And I am one of users who uses this API, but I am
not able to upstream the GPU kernel driver which uses the new API.

Look at it from mainline's perspective..

- We don't (can't) care about non-mainline stuff. Actually we do care,
  but we can't add code to mainline which is not going to be used by
  any mainline user.

- I am fine with introducing the new API, but that will happen only if
  there is going to be a mainline user as well.

- As you are going to maintain your GPU driver offline, you can
  maintain this patch too.

Sorry Nick.
