I have one or two problems with cpufreq and the CCF, which are caused by rounding/different frequency resolutions. cpufreq works with kHz, while the CCF uses Hz. On Zynq our default frequency is 666666666 Hz which the CCF, due to rounding, reports as 666666660. And for cpufreq, which simply divides values it obtains through clk_round_rate() by 1000, 666666. Since passing 666666 to clk_round_rate() does not result in 666666660 (clk_round_rate() always rounds down!), we chose to put 666667 in the OPP. This causes issue 1: cpufreq stats are broken.
I know it might a big exercise, but wouldn't it be worth to make cpufreq start using frequencies in Hz ?
