[PATCH v4 1/1] cpufreq: ti: Add EPROBE_DEFER for K3 SoCs

From: Akashdeep Kaur

Date: Thu May 28 2026 - 05:09:00 EST


On K3 SoCs, ti-cpufreq relies on k3-socinfo to register the SoC
device before soc_device_match() can return valid revision
information. If ti-cpufreq probes before k3-socinfo,
soc_device_match() returns NULL, leading to incorrect CPU frequency
scaling behavior.
Defer probe when k3-socinfo hasn't registered the SoC device yet.
