Subject[PATCH 0/4] qcom-cpufreq-hw: Add CPU clock provider support
Date
Hello,

This series adds clock provider support to the Qcom CPUFreq driver for
supplying the clocks to the CPU cores in Qcom SoCs.

The Qualcomm platforms making use of CPUFreq HW Engine (EPSS/OSM) supply
clocks to the CPU cores. But this is not represented clearly in devicetree.
There is no clock coming out of the CPUFreq HW node to the CPU. This created
an issue [1] with the OPP core when a recent enhancement series was submitted.
Eventhough the issue got fixed in the OPP framework in the meantime, that's
not a proper solution and this series aims to fix it properly.

There was also an attempt made by Viresh [2] to fix the issue by moving the
clocks supplied to the CPUFreq HW node to the CPU. But that was not accepted
since those clocks belong to the CPUFreq HW node only.

The proposal here is to add clock provider support to the Qcom CPUFreq HW
driver to supply clocks to the CPUs that comes out of the EPSS/OSM block.
This correctly reflects the hardware implementation.

The clock provider is a simple one that just provides the frequency of the
clocks supplied to each frequency domain in the SoC using .recalc_rate()
callback. The frequency supplied by the driver will be the actual frequency
that comes out of the EPSS/OSM block after the DCVS operation. This frequency
is not same as what the CPUFreq framework has set but it is the one that gets
supplied to the CPUs after throttling by LMh.

This series has been tested on SM8450 based dev board and hence there is a DTS
change only for that platform. Once this series gets accepted, rest of the
platform DTS can also be modified and finally the hack on the OPP core can be
dropped.

Thanks,
Mani
