Hi Nicolas,
Pls find rebased OMAP DVFS patches attached. Apologies for the delay as I had to rework some of the patches because of kernel migration.
No problem.
Merged, thanks.
Vishwa,
Could you also make sure that that DVFS config options are enabled in the Linaro configs? If you could state the config options, John (cc'ed) could help you with enabling them. Linaro does not use the omap2plug_defconfig
Just for the record...
Not that it makes a difference for current Linaro releases, but this DVFS series has been rejected and will not be going upstream. A replacement implementation is underway.
OK... If the replacement is still work in progress, I don't think we may count on it for this cycle. What I care most about is the difference in user space visible interfaces if any. What can you tell me on that point?
No differences to userspace interface, since CPUfreq is still the userspace (and kernel) interface to DVFS.
Kevin
Kevin,
Yes we're aware that the patches aren't in mainline yet. We'll update to the next version of the patchset when available.
While not trying to speak for Nico, in the Linaro kernel we're trying to increase testing of under-development features (e.g. device tree, DVFS, etc.) after they've had a few review rounds upstream. Since Nico recreates his tree every once in a while, old versions of patchsets get dropped and newer ones are applied.
Regards, Amit
