i'm glad to use more general method, let me give more input so that we can see if can figure out a better way. ;)And I am glad to hear that :)quoted
1. From hardware design, during the initialization phase, it will bind every opps with its corresponding voltage, and pass these related info to power controller. So later, in kernel the cpufreq driver don't need manually change the voltage, it will only change the cpu clock frequency and power controller will automatically handle voltage related operations. This is similar with TC's SPC implementation. So looks likely the cpufreq-dt driver's voltage related ops are redundant for this case.Its okay, they wouldn't harm. You don't have to specify any regulator in CPUs DT node and the code will not try any fancy stuff :)
If so, it's make sense to directly use cpufreq-dt driver; i will try it firstly. Appreciate for suggestion :) Thanks, Leo Yan
