[PATCH V8 3/3] OPP: Allow "opp-hz" and "opp-microvolt" to contain magic values

From: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>
Date: 2017-12-18 10:21:51
Also in: linux-pm, lkml
Subsystem: open firmware and flattened device tree bindings, operating performance points (opp), the rest · Maintainers: Rob Herring, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Conor Dooley, Viresh Kumar, Nishanth Menon, Stephen Boyd, Linus Torvalds

On some platforms the exact frequency or voltage may be hidden from the
OS by the firmware. Allow such configurations to pass magic values in
the "opp-hz" or the "opp-microvolt" properties, which should be
interpreted in a platform dependent way.
