[PATCH v3] drivers: cpufreq: Fix sysfs duplicate filename creation for platform-device

From: sunil . m
Date: Thu Sep 21 2017 - 09:39:29 EST


From: Suniel Mahesh <sunil.m@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

ti-cpufreq and cpufreq-dt-platdev drivers are registering platform-device
with same name "cpufreq-dt" using platform_device_register_*() routines.
This is leading to build warnings appended below.

Providing hardware information to OPP framework along with the platform-
device creation should be done by ti-cpufreq driver before cpufreq-dt
driver comes into place.

This patch add's TI am33xx, am43 and dra7 platforms (which use opp-v2
property) to the blacklist of devices in cpufreq-dt-platform driver to
avoid creating platform-device twice and remove build warnings.

Changes for v3:
- Added ti,am43 and ti,dra7 platforms to the blacklist as requested
by Dave Gerlach.
- Patch Description modified a bit.
- Patch was rebased on pm/linux-next as suggested by Viresh, compile
tested and built(ARCH=arm) on both linux/pm-next and next-20170918.
---
Changes for v2:
- The approach (as a result patch decsription) was changed as per
inputs given by Viresh.
- Patch was compile tested and built(ARCH=arm) on next-20170918.
---
Note:
- Patch was hardware tested on AM335x SOC based board.
- cpufreq-dt driver got probed and entries related to Dynamic Voltage
and Frequency scaling were created in
sysfs @ sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq.
- No build/run-time issues reported.
