Switching the CPU from the L2 or L3 frequencies (300 and 200 Mhz respectively) to L0 frequency (1.2 Ghz) requires a significant amount of time to let VDD stabilize to the appropriate voltage. This amount of time is large enough that it cannot be covered by the hardware countdown register. Due to this, the CPU might start operating at L0 before the voltage is stabilized, leading to CPU stalls.
To work around this problem, we prevent switching directly from the L2/L3 frequencies to the L0 frequency, and instead switch to the L1 frequency in-between. The sequence therefore becomes:
1. First switch from L2/L3(200/300MHz) to L1(600MHZ) 2. Sleep 20ms for stabling VDD voltage 3. Then switch from L1(600MHZ) to L0(1200Mhz).
It is based on the work done by Ken Ma make@marvell.com
