This fixes how it will work with new DTs, how about old DTs ? IMO we still need the blacklist kind of logic I sent before.
Yes..
I don't think this is something acceptable, why will someone want to lose a working feature with new kernel.
If some platform maintainers care for cleaner/simpler code instead of backward compatibility ..
For example, exynos has just started to use cpufreq-dt. Probably in 3.18 or may be 19 as well.. So, they might not care about backward compatibility at all.. Let me see if I can come up with a solution that looks reasonably clean.
