Subject: [PATCH 3/3] cpufreq: imx-sc: add i.mx system controller cpufreq support

On NXP's i.MX SoCs with system controller inside, CPU frequency
scaling can ONLY be done by system controller firmware, and it
can ONLY be requested from secure mode, so Linux cpufreq driver has
to call ARM SMC to trap to ARM-Trusted-Firmware to request system
controller firmware to do CPU frequency scaling.

This patch adds i.MX system controller cpufreq driver support,
when doing CPU frequency scaling, cpufreq driver will do ARM SMC
call and trap to ARM-Trusted-Firmware, then SIP(silicon provider)
service will communicate with system controller for CPU frequenct
scaling.

Why can't you use cpufreq-dt driver like everyone else ?

Just notice that we can overwrite the set_target if using cpufreq-dt, then we still
need a platform cpufreq file to implement arch_set_freq_scale(), I can use it to save
the code of imx system controller cpufreq driver, and BTW, can cpufreq-dt support
multi clusters cpufreq? As i.MX8QM has 2 clusters running with different OPPs.

Thanks,
Anson.

Forgot to mention, i.MX system controller cpufreq actually can NOT do any CPU
clock/voltage scaling from Linux kernel, they are controlled by system controller
firmware and ONLY can be requested via RPC with secure mode, so Linux kernel
has to call SMC and trap to ARM-Trusted-Firmware to do it, in this case, is cpufreq-dt
still suitable to support it? I saw cpufreq-dt driver will do CPU clock/voltage scaling
directly.

What about moving those SMC calls to the clk-driver, then it wouldn't
matter to the cpufreq driver on how the clock is getting changed.

Why do you need to implement arch_set_freq_scale() ? It is already
defined for arm64 I believe.

Yes, it supports multi-cluster.
