The big.LITTLE cpufreq driver is useful on arm64 big.LITTLE systems even
without IKS support since it implements support for clusters with shared
clocks (a common big.LITTLE configuration). In order to allow it to be
built provide the non-IKS stubs for arm64, enabling cpufreq with all the
cores available.
Have you thought of patching the actual cpufreq driver? Are you adding
this code just to avoid compiler errors on arm64 with this driver?
It may make sense to make an asm-generic version of these stubs instead
asm-generic/bL_switcher.h? I take it as a good joke ;)
but
given that there's only likely to be these two architectures using the code
and asm-generic stubs also need per architecture updates it's probably more
trouble than it's worth.
Exactly.
