Re: [PATCH v3 1/1] dt: cpufreq: st: Provide bindings for ST's CPUFreq implementation

[Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>]

Cc'ing few more people who were involved in opp-v2 discussions.

Guys, please take a closer look as this is the first user platform
that wants to extend opp-v2 bindings with platform specific stuff.

These are used by cpufreq, but they aren't really cpufreq bindings.

These are opp bindings and must present at:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/opp/st.txt and we should move
opp.txt in that folder as well..

I hope below registers are used to define which OPPs are valid for the
CPU and so shouldn't these be present under opp node instead of CPU?

Not sure if you are required to re define it. In case you want to, the
please add a link here to the bindings that define it. So that we
don't think they are newer bindings.

@Stephen: Any idea if these can be relevant for other platforms and we
can move them to generic bindings?

Why do you want to keep these as well?
