Hi, I guess this is just to evaluate how big the lynch mob will be. Anyway: Triggered by this discussion https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/15/46, I looked a little into what it would take to migrate everybody to Hz frequency resolutions to avoid all the conversions between cpufreq, CCF, OPPs, etc. Turns out, OPPs are already stored in Hz resolution in the kernel, but the DT bindings use kHz resolution to specify them in DT. So, code-wise there is just a removal of a multiplication in the OPP parser (see below), but then there are the DT bindings...
Yep :( unfortunately, so :(
As plan B, I was thinking to add the property 'operating-points-hz'... Any better ideas?
property operating-points-hz as a bool perhaps -> that modifies the description and maintains legacy dtb support sounds OK to me if DT folks and Rafael are ok with it as well. Regards, Nishanth Menon
