This commit adds a simple cpufreq driver for the Armada XP SoC, which
has one separately controllable clock for each CPU. For this reason,
the existing cpufreq-cpu0 generic driver cannot be used because it
currently assumes that there is only one clock controlling the
frequency of all CPUs.

There are on-going discussions on extending the cpufreq-cpu0 to cover
the case of having one clock for each CPU, but there are still some
unresolved issues to get this extended cpufreq-cpu0 driver merged.

Exactly, and those changes would get merged in one form or the other.
Surely in 3.17 atleast, if not 3.16 as we are already reaching rc4..

So, it would be great if you can test on top of those changes to see if
something isn't solved for your platform yet?

Are these changes in linux-next ? The mvebu maintainer Jason Cooper has
pulled the cpufreq support for Armada XP, so it will appear in
linux-next tomorrow. It would be good of the cpufreq-generic driver
improvements (to support one clock per CPU) were also part of
linux-next so that we could test that the combination works as expected
(of course, I did test locally, but I'd like to ensure it still works
in linux-next).

Could you get your tree in linux-next, or get your patches merged by
Rafael in his linux-next branch so that they will appear in linux-next ?

Thanks,

Thomas
