At least lower OPP breaks DSS on N900 and Beagle if display is on while
entering into lower OPP.

This made me thinking that should initial round of
"[PATCH 10/13] OMAP3: Add voltage dependency table for VDD1."
use only OMAP3430_VDD_CORE_OPP3_UV for core voltage until there's some
dynamic/DSS voltage domain support in DSS?

That way, I believe, the DVFS has shorter path to mainline and makes
easier to add driver specific support & hooks. DVFS is not only power
savings but users are interesting about additional performance too.
