Subject[PATCH 1/9] devicetree: bindings: Add optional dynamic-power-coefficient property
Date
The dynamic power consumption of a device is proportional to the
square of voltage (V) and the clock frequency (f). It can be expressed as

Pdyn = dynamic-power-coefficient * V^2 * f.

The dynamic-power-coefficient property represents an indicative
running time dynamic power coefficient in fundamental units of
mw/MHz/uVolt^2 and can be used in the above formula to calculate the
dynamic power in mW.
