[PATCH v2 0/7] cpufreq support for Raspberry Pi

From: Nicolas Saenz Julienne
Date: Thu Jun 06 2019 - 10:27:23 EST


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

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, both using multi_v7_defconfig and
arm64's defconfig.

@Eric: Even though some things change, namely to properly support being
built as a module, I still added your Acked-by as it didn't
change the overall design. I hope it's OK.

That's all,
kind regards,
Nicolas

Changes since v1:
- Enabled by default on the whole family of devices
- Added/Fixed module support
- clk device now registered by firmware driver
- raspberrypi-cpufreq device now registered by clk driver
- Reimplemented clk rounding unsing determine_rate()
- Enabled in configs for arm and arm64

Changes since RFC:
- Move firmware clk device into own driver

Nicolas Saenz Julienne (7):
clk: bcm2835: remove pllb
clk: bcm283x: add driver interfacing with Raspberry Pi's firmware
firmware: raspberrypi: register clk device
cpufreq: add driver for Raspbery Pi
clk: raspberrypi: register platform device for raspberrypi-cpufreq
ARM: defconfig: enable cpufreq driver for RPi
arm64: defconfig: enable cpufreq support for RPi3
