[PATCH V3 0/4] cpufreq: dt: Create platform device from generic code

[PATCH V3 0/4] cpufreq: dt: Create platform device from generic code

[Viresh Kumar]

Multiple platforms are using the generic cpufreq-dt driver now, and all
of them are required to create a platform device with name "cpufreq-dt",
in order to get the cpufreq-dt probed.

Many of them do it from platform code, others have special drivers just
to do that.

It would be more sensible to do this at a generic place, where all such
platform can mark their entries.

The first patch fixes an issue that came up with an earlier version of
patch 2/4, but its still worth fixing it.  The second one creates a new
driver to create platform-device based on current platform and the last
two converts exynos platform to use this common infrastructure.

I will migrate rest of the platforms after this is accepted as the right
way ahead.

V2->V3:
- 2/3 is very lightweight now and doesn't support cpufreq-dt
  platform-data and an extra depends_on from Kconfig is dropped as well.
- 3/3 is separated into two patches.

Viresh Kumar (4):
  cpufreq: dt: Include types.h from cpufreq-dt.h
  cpufreq: dt: Add generic platform-device creation support
  ARM: exynos: exynos-cpufreq platform device isn't supported anymore
  cpufreq: exynos: Use generic platdev driver

[PATCH V3 1/4] cpufreq: dt: Include types.h from cpufreq-dt.h

[Viresh Kumar]

cpufreq-dt.h uses 'bool' data type but doesn't include types.h. It works
fine for now as the files that include cpufreq-dt.h, also include
types.h directly or indirectly.

But, when a file includes cpufreq-dt.h without including types.h, we get
a build error. Avoid such errors by including types.h in cpufreq-dt
itself.

[PATCH V3 2/4] cpufreq: dt: Add generic platform-device creation support

[Viresh Kumar]

Multiple platforms are using the generic cpufreq-dt driver now, and all
of them are required to create a platform device with name "cpufreq-dt",
in order to get the cpufreq-dt probed.

Many of them do it from platform code, others have special drivers just
to do that.

It would be more sensible to do this at a generic place, where all such
platform can mark their entries.

This patch adds a separate file to get this device created. Currently
the compat list of platforms that we support is empty, and will be
filled in as and when we move platforms to use it.

It always compiles as part of the kernel and so doesn't need a
module-exit operation.

@Matthew and @Mason,

Now that this is present in linux-next, you guys can send patches for
your platforms cpufreq support.

Present in linux-next means it will show up in 4.6-rc5?

No, it doesn't, in general.

Bug fixes may show up in -rcX, X > 1, but the majority of new material
in linux-next will show up in the next -rc1 (4.7-rc1 in this
particular case).

Viresh,

IIUC, all I need to do is add my platform's string to
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq-dt-platdev.c ?

Should I add it at the beginning or at the end?
(I suppose at the end.)

I should add "sigma,tango4", since that's what is used
in arch/arm/mach-tango/setup.c right?

Regards.

I was going to do alphabetical order.

That's right, you should follow the way things are present in the file itself.
So, it should be in alphabetical order, + blank lines separating your platform
from the rest.
