* Locking: This function must be called under rcu_read_lock(). opp is a rcu

* protected pointer. The reason for the same is that the opp pointer which is
|
||||
* returned will remain valid for use with opp_get_{voltage, freq} only while
|
||||
* under the locked area. The pointer returned must be used prior to unlocking
|
||||
* with rcu_read_unlock() to maintain the integrity of the pointer.
