I don't think so. I think it's reasonable to have a per-SoC cpufreq
driver whose primary content is the parameterization data and/or custom
hooks for a unified core cpufreq driver. The duplicate parts of each
cpufreq driver can be moved into the core cpufreq driver, but the
non-duplicate parts remain. That's how many other subsystems work (MMC,
USB, ASoC spring to mind).
Guys in the --to list:
Please shout before its too late...
I can understand why Stephen is asking not to implement a virtual clock
driver for cpu as there is no clock corresponding to that.. We are just playing
with existing clocks there..
But I thought these clock APIs can be considered as hooks that we were
looking for and so shouldn't be a problem..
But yes, different people see things differently..
So, if I take Stephen's suggestions then I need to implement hooks into
cpufreq-cpu0 driver for taking freq-table/ setting clk rates, etc...
Let me know if anybody has a issue with that before we actually implement
that..
