Adding Thomas to Cc.

Thomas,

Does this generic hook help you out at all with your CPU frequency
transitions? I remember in my discussions with Chander K. that you have
something like safe dividers, safe parents and safe voltages to take
into account (but I might be misremembering some of that).

Stephen,

For reference, recent patches from Samsung to introduce cpu clocks[1]
which I am not wild about, but the generic infrastructure isn't really
there yet in the framework core to manage complex, pre-defined,
multi-clock transitions gracefully.

Regards,
Mike
