By OPP you mean both freq and voltage here ?

yes, freq and perf state.


while just needing to scale the clock on some others.

And only freq here ?

yes.


In order to avoid conditional code in every driver which supports such
devices (to check for availability of OPPs and then deciding to do
either dev_pm_opp_set_rate() or clk_set_rate()) add support to manage
empty OPP tables with a clk handle.

Why can't these devices have an opp table with just rate mentioned in each node
?

These are existing devices already upstream.


This makes dev_pm_opp_set_rate() equivalent of a clk_set_rate() for
devices with just a clk and no OPPs specified, and makes
dev_pm_opp_set_rate(0) bail out without throwing an error.

Why should anyone call this with target_freq = 0 ? I know it was required to
drop votes in the above case, but why here ?

Well, it is to drop votes. But in cases where we don't have perf votes being put
(and only clock is scaled), the driver would still call this with freq = 0, i am
just making sure that in such cases its treated as a nop.

Is this enough? _of_add_opp_table_v2() returns with error if there is no OPP
node within the table. Please give an example of how DT looks for the case you
want to support.

FWIK, no one should call a _of_add_opp_table_v2 in cases where there is no OPP in DT?
The 'empty' OPP table from what I understand will be created by dev_pm_opp_set_clkname.
A good case to look at is the PATCH 13/21 in this series. The driver I am modifying
is used on sdm845/sc7180 and a host of other older qualcomm SoCs. Since i am adding
support for perf state voting using OPP only on sdm845/sc7180 I want the existing
platforms to just do what they were doing. Now thats not possible unless I start
adding a bunch of if/else around every opp call in the driver to distinguish between
the two.

I am a little surprised since I though the idea of doing something like this came from
you :) (or perhaps Stephen, I somehow can't recollect) to avoid all the if/else conditions
I had when I initially posted some of these changes.
Btw, you had this patch reviewed when this was posted a long while back too [1]
