Now that we have GPU DVFS support in lima [0] (in Linux 5.7) and
panfrost we can make it work on Amlogic SoCs.
I decided to remove code duplication for the Mali-450 GPU on GXBB and
GXL so it will be easier to maintain this. This refactoring is part of
patch #1. Patches #2 (GXM) and #3 (G12A, G12B, SM1) are straight
forward; it replaces the hardcoded clock settings with the the GPU OPP
table.
I used the userspace devfreq governor to cycle through all available
GPU frequency settings on GXL, GXM and G12A (which covers all relevant
GPU driver and clock driver combinations). I have taken the GPU OPP
tables from Amlogic's 4.9 vendor kernel and the voltage settings
(opp-microvolt property) from the public dataseheets for all SoCs.
Changes since v1 at [1]:
- removed the clock patches from this series as they are already
applied (in Linux 5.8)
- rebased on top of Neil's recent patch "arm64: dts: meson-gxl-s805x:
reduce initial Mali450 core frequency"
- adapted patch #1 after Neil's GXL S805X patch to keep the 744MHz OPP
disabled on that package
- added a comment about GP0_PLL (as to why it's needed) to all patch
descriptions
- removed RFC prefix
