cpufreq: frequency scaling spec in DT node

[Mason]

Hello,

I have two similar, but slightly different SoCs.

Firmware/bootloader sets the "nominal" CPU frequency to
- 1215 MHz on SoC A
- 1206 MHz on SoC B

On both systems, software can reduce the CPU frequency by
writing an 8-bit integer divider to an MMIO register.

Originally, I wanted to define a small number of operating points,
defined only by the divider value, and compute the actual OPP freq
at init.

For example, use { 1, 2, 3, 5, 9 } for dividers =>
1215, 607.5, 405, 243, 135 on SoC A
1206, 603, 402, 241.2, 134 on Soc B

I'm using the generic cpufreq driver.

Binding for the generic cpufreq driver:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/cpufreq/cpufreq-dt.txt

I don't think there's a way to do what I want with the
existing driver, right?

It's not a big deal, I can write the actual target frequencies
in the DT. (BTW, the OPPs are more SW than HW desc, right?)

But my problem is: what happens if firmware/bootloader is
changed without me knowing, and they change the nominal
frequency? Because of the rounding, if the nominal freq
is slightly increased, the SoC will start working at
*slower* speeds.

For example, if nominal is 1215, and I request 603, I will
actually get 405.

This effect can be seen if I define SoC B OPPs on SoC A:

$ cat scaling_available_frequencies
134000 241200 402000 603000 1206000 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq$ echo 603000 > scaling_max_freq
[   60.401883] set_target: index=3
[   60.405118] clk_divider_set_rate: rate=405000000 parent_rate=1215000000 div=3


What can I do against that?

Should I check the nominal frequency in my clk driver?
(I'm not sure reading properties of unrelated nodes is acceptable practice.)

Regards.
