Subject: [PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: cpufreq: Add big CPU supply

The performance-controller hardware block on MediaTek SoCs is
responsible for controlling the frequency of the CPUs. As such, it needs
any CPU regulator to have been configured prior to initializing. Add a
phandle in the binding so this dependency can be described.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] arm64: dts: mediatek: cherry: Add CPU supply dependency to cpufreq-hw

When the mediatek-cpufreq-hw driver enables the hardware (by
writing to REG_FREQ_ENABLE), if the regulator supplying the voltage to
the big CPUs hasn't probed yet, the platform hangs shortly after and
"rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks" are printed in
the log.

To prevent this from happening, describe the big CPUs regulator in the
performance-controller DT node, so that devlink ensures the regulator
has been probed and configured before the frequency scaling hardware is
probed and enabled.

I think the regulator needs to be mentioned in the CPU's node and not
here ?

Even if the regulator voltage is being changed by firmware with cpufreq-hw, the
actual regulators should go to each CPU node and not in the cpufreq driver node,
I agree with Viresh.

Besides, that's the same thing that we're doing with mediatek-cpufreq as well...
and since we're talking about that, we should also do something about this such
that we stop declaring `regulator-always-on` for CPU cores in devicetree, but
this is probably slightly out of context for what you're trying to do here, so,
read that as an "extra consideration" :-)

Cheers,
Angelo

Why big? Neither little nor medium need power? Why you do not need to
provide all supplies?

About the naming, use something matching the devices, e.g. from their
datasheet/manual.

A CPU's supply belongs in the respective CPU nodes.
