thanks for working on this Abel,

It looks like the icc path requests don't work for me:

when applying this onto v5.11 (without any other workaround in that
area, but some out-of-tree icc-requests like in mxsfb) my rootfs isn't
being mounted anymore. Since you add icc requests to the usdhc driver,
there could be something wrong.

So I revert 19/19 ("mmc: sdhci-esdhc-imx: Add interconnect support") and
then my imx8mq (Librem 5) rootfs system boots, but all frequencies stay
at the minimum (despite the icc request like this:
https://source.puri.sm/martin.kepplinger/linux-next/-/commit/1692de27d1475c53574dd7359c68ba613e0fea10
so I can't use the display).

What could be missing? As I said I'm trying on top of v5.11, (at least I
have the NOC node described:
https://source.puri.sm/martin.kepplinger/linux-next/-/commit/1d74a24c9944d1bf618abdd57d24101368cc8df0
and (with the revert from
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20210104120512.gmi2zjz7dzhjussp@fsr-ub1664-175/
devfreq works without your patchset ) Is there anything I'm missing that
is not yet merged in v5.11?

Can I test anything else that would help?

/sys/class/devfreq# cat */cur_freq
133333334
25000000
25641026
25000000
800000000
25000000
0
25000000
25000000
25000000
0

the available freqs look ok (opp table removed from device dts, but you
don't read that anymore anyway):

cat */available_frequencies
133333333 400000000 800000000
25000000 100000000 800000000
25000000 133333333 333333333
