I have failures to boot on Orange Pi 3, because this driver determined
that my SoC is from the normal bin, but my SoC only works reliably with
the OPP values for the slowest bin.
Looking at BSP code, I found that efuse values have following meanings
on H6:
- 0b000 invalid (interpreted in vendor's BSP as normal bin)
- 0b001 slowest bin
- 0b011 normal bin
- 0b111 fastest bin
Let's play it safe and interpret 0 as the slowest bin, but fix detection
of other bins to match vendor code.

Maybe have some defines will be more readable no ?

Hmm, Alwwinner is really funny. Unused macros that just confuse things.
#if defined(CONFIG_ARCH_SUN50IW6)
#define TYPE_SB (0b001)
#define TYPE_NB (0b010)
#define TYPE_FB (0b011)
#else
#define TYPE_SB (0b001)
#define TYPE_NB (0b011)
#define TYPE_FB (0b111)
#endif
So for H6 they define special bin values and actually use different ones
in code. Fun.
I've sent out some testing program to Armbian forums, so hopefully, we'll
collect some real efuse_values from real SoCs, to see what's really being
used in the wild. If we see value 0b010, the BSP code is probably just
wrong.
Interestingly, TYPE_NB 0b010 would be interpreted as normal bin even with
the current BSP code, and TYPE_FB would be misdetected as TYPE_NB.

I'd rather not describe meanings just yet, until we get some real-world
data from H6 owners.

I'm using one from Orange Pi 3's fex file from Xunlong:
https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/OrangePiH6_external/blob/master/sys_config/OrangePiH6_3_sys_config.fex
https://megous.com/git/linux/commit/?h=ths-5.4&id=7b409e83b4ac70f3435886da6a26cecf9af77213
This one doesn't really differentiate between normal/fast bins.
There's also another one in the Allwinner DTS files:
https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/OrangePiH6_Linux4_9/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/sunxi/sun50iw6p1.dtsi#L349
which seems to be the one used by Yangtao Li in the dt-bindings
docummentation.

Out of curiosity, which OPP table is being used? I guess it's one of

So this table is likely used on H6, from my research I was able to find
no owners of H6 with efuse value of 0b111 and one owner with efuse value
of 0b010, and one with 0b011.
So the bins map directly to decimal numbers efuse=1 (slow bin),
efuse=2 (normal bin), efuse=3 (fast bin).
So it looks like vendor code is wrong and works accidentally, due to
fast bin being interpretted as normal bin, and normal bin being interpretted
as having a wrong efuse value, which is then interpretted alter as normal bin.

https://forum.armbian.com/topic/9368-orangepi-3-h6-allwiner-chip/page/25/#comments
This will still need to be verified, by respective owners using the optimized
OPP tables for their supposed SoC bins successfully, but meanwhile I think
we should base the efuse->speed grade mapping based on values observed in the
wild. That seems most prudent at the moment.
I'll send v2 with speed grade selection matching these observations, so
please don't merge this yet.
