The driver is based on clock and regulator APIs and support single core and multi core ARM SoCs. For multi core, it assume all cores share the same clock and voltage.
Thanks Arnd, Mark, Jamie, Shawn, Rob, for your review.
Changes in V6: - add scaling_available_freqs
Changes in V5: - add more comments - rename trans-latency to clk-trans-latency, and it only describe clk latency. Regulator latency is got from regulator_set_voltage_time.
Changes in v4: - add depends on HAVE_CLK && OF && REGULATOR - add set_cpu_freq fail check - regulator_put wehn module exit - add pr_fmt and convert all printk to pr_xxx - use voltage range - comment and doc fix - add cpu_volts value pre-check in module init - add helpfull module parameter max_freq - remove compatible string check on Arnd's comment. - remove generic-cpufreq to clk-reg-cpufreq
Changes in v3: - move adjusting smp loops_per_jiffy to arm common code, and also adjust global loops_per_jiffy. - remove adjusting loops_per_jiffy in imx and omap cpufreq drivers. - check compatible "generic-cpufreq" when module_init - change printk to pr_xxx - add generic-cpufreq DT binding doc
Changes in v2: - add volatage change support - change '_' in property name to '-' - use initial value to calculate loops_per_jiffy - fix reading cpu_volts property bug - let cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo routines handle cpu_freq_khz_max/min - don't change freq in arm_cpufreq_exit, because every core share the same freq. - use unsigned long describe frequency as much as possible. Because clk use unsigned long, but cpufreq use unsigned int.

If CONFIG_SMP, cpufreq skips loops_per_jiffy update, because different arch has different per-cpu loops_per_jiffy definition.

The patch looks good to me. But it really depends on how the patch #1 looks to Russell.

Hi Kevin,
Could you please look at and ack the patch if possible? Sorry, I didn't cc you.

The driver get cpu operation point table from device tree cpu0 node, and adjusts operating points using clk and regulator APIs.
It support single core and multi-core ARM SoCs. But currently it assume all cores share the same frequency and voltage.

The driver, for now, assumes all cpu cores uses the same clk and voltage. It's correct for most arm multi-core SoC. Do you have real case to need different voltage/clk? And the regulator will be specified in dts after cpu convert from sys device to normal device.

Then they should probably adopt to OPP, since it was created exactly for this purpose. What this patch creates is an alternate way of adding OPPs using the device tree.
The point is using a static list of OPPs from boot time simply doesn't work. You need the ability to dynamically add/remove OPPs at runtime to adjust for various operating conditons (or HW bugs) as well as for thermal considerations. The OPP layer provides this.
A generic driver should get available OPPs using the OPP layer.
The DT can certainly be used at boot time to create the initial list of OPPs, but as the list of available OPPs changes at runtime, the only way to track that is to use the OPP layer.

Sure, but a "generic" driver such as the one proposed is not just for ARM, and not just for today's SoCs. flexible enough
Do you have real case to need different voltage/clk?
Sure, any system with independently scalable CPUs/clusters.
