[PATCH 0/4] cpufreq support for the Raspberry Pi

From: Nicolas Saenz Julienne
Date: Tue Jun 04 2019 - 13:37:42 EST


Hi all,
this series aims at adding cpufreq support to the Raspberry Pi family of
boards.

The previous revision can be found at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/20/431

The series first factors out 'pllb' from clk-bcm2385 and creates a new
clk driver that operates it over RPi's firmware interface[1]. We are
forced to do so as the firmware 'owns' the pll and we're not allowed to
change through the register interface directly as we might race with the
over-temperature and under-voltage protections provided by the firmware.

Next it creates a minimal cpufreq driver that populates the CPU's opp
table, and registers cpufreq-dt. Which is needed as the firmware
controls the max and min frequencies available.

This was tested on a RPi3b+ and RPI2b which are the boards I have access
to. Until this is tested broadly the cpufreq driver takes care of
filtering out the rest of boards.

That's all,
kind regards,
Nicolas

Changes since RFC:
- Addressed Viresh's comments in cpufreq driver
- Addressed Stefan's comments in both cpufreq & clk drivers
- Moved all firmware clk operations into it's own driver

Nicolas Saenz Julienne (4):
clk: bcm2835: remove pllb
clk: bcm283x: add driver interfacing with Raspberry Pi's firmware
clk: bcm2835: register Raspberry Pi's firmware clk device
cpufreq: add driver for Raspbery Pi
