[PATCH v4 0/4] Apple SoC cpufreq driver

[Hector Martin]

Hi folks,

Here's v4 of the cpufreq driver for Apple SoCs. v4 just incorporates
minor review feedback changes from v3, and no functional changes.

Once reviewed, please merge #3 via the cpufreq tree, and we'll take
care of #1,#2,#4 via the asahi-soc tree. This lets us merge the DT
changes in the same cycle without blocking on the binding coming in
via the cpufreq tree first.

This version takes a page from both v1 and v2, keeping the dedicated
cpufreq style (instead of pretending to be a clock controller) but using
dedicated DT nodes for each cluster, which accurately represents the
hardware. In particular, this makes supporting t6002 (M1 Ultra) a lot
more reasonable on the DT side.

This version also switches to the standard performance-domains binding,
so we don't need any more vendor-specific properties. In order to
support this, I had to make the performance-domains parsing code more
generic. This required a minor change to the only consumer
(mediatek-cpufreq-hw).

The Linux driver probes based on platform compatible, and then attempts
to locate the cluster nodes by following the performance-domains links
from CPU nodes (this will then fail for any incompatible nodes, e.g. if
a future SoC needs a new compatible and can't fall back). This approach
was suggested by robh as the right way to handle the impedance mismatch
between the hardware, which has separate controllers per cluster, and
the Linux model where there can only be one CPUFreq driver instance.

Functionality-wise, there are no significant changes from v2. The only
notable difference is support for t8112 (M2). This works largely the
same as the other SoCs, but they ran out of bits in the current PState
register, so that needs a SoC-specific quirk. Since that register is
not used by macOS (it was discovered experimentally) and is not critical
for functionality (it just allows accurately reporting the current
frequency to userspace, given boost clock limitations), I've decided to
only use it when a SoC-specific compatible is present. The default
fallback code will simply report the requested frequency as actual.
I expect this will work for future SoCs.
