The ability to mix and match different branches of firmware and kernel is very useful for testing. There might be slight incompatibilities but in theory if a feature depends on both firmware and kernel support then it should gracefully degrade rather than crash or hang.I saw the check you put in for the correct ATF version and that's very helpful thanks.quoted
ATF support for this feature will be mainlined eventually, I picked the linux side first because review is more challenging and changes are much larger relative to what we have in our internal tree.Do you have a patch against mainline ATF that we can test this feature with ?Not right now, and imx atf is based on a slightly older version so some porting effort might be required.Hi Leonard, Have you, by chance, looked at the mainline ATF side for your devfreq work in the meantime? I'd happily test. (btw. the linux driver fails "nicely" there.)
hi again. Do you have any plans regarding the ATF implementation of
IMX_SIP_DDR_DVFS in mainline yet? The kernel is only one half of the
devfreq solution after all. I'm asking just to schedule my work a bit :)
thanks,
martin
