[PATCH 0/6] cpufreq: use generic cpufreq drivers for Exynos4x12 platform

[Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz]

Hi,

This patch series removes the use of Exynos4x12 specific support
from cpufreq-exynos driver and enables the use of cpufreq-dt driver
for this platform.

In order to preserve support for Exynos4x12 'boost' mode cpufreq-dt
driver is made aware of 'boost' mode frequencies and boost-opps
binding is provided.

boost-opps binding is currently limited to cpufreq-dt but once there is
a need for cpufreq wide and/or generic Linux device support for 'boost'
mode cpufreq-dt can be updated to handle the new code without changing
the binding itself.

The decision to make 'boost' mode support limited to cpufreq-dt driver
for now was taken because 'boost' mode is currently a niche feature and
code needed for parsing boost-opps binding is minimal and simple.  More
generic (i.e. separate 'boost' OPPs list in struct device and generic
cpufreq convertion of them to freq_table format) support would need far
more code and effort to make it work.  Doing it without a demonstrated
real need would be on overengineering IMHO.

This patch series has been tested on Exynos4412 based Odroid-U3 and
Trats2 boards.

Depends on:
- next-20150330 branch of linux-next kernel tree
- "[PATCH 0/6] cpufreq: use generic cpufreq drivers for Exynos4210
  platform" [1]
