[PATCH RFC 1/3] clk: notifier handler for dynamic voltage scaling

Mike Turquette mturquette at linaro.org
Sun Jul 7 21:44:26 EDT 2013


This patch provides helper functions for drivers that wish to scale
voltage through the clock rate-change notifiers. The approach taken is
that the driver does not care about the details of the OPP table, nor
does it care about handling the voltage regulator directly. The driver
only has a pointer to the struct clk object; the other details are
hidden in the helper functions.

The assumptions about DT structure mostly come from the cpufreq-cpu0
binding. Since this is a helper function it does not have a binding
document of its own.

A similar patch using platform data instead of DT was proposed in
February[1].
