I would suggest to use the clock rate-change notifier handlers. Every version of these "helper" functions that I have posted are simply that: helper functions. There is nothing stopping you today from using the rate-change notifiers that were merged back in v3.4 and scaling multiple regulators in a specific order. This patch is solving the simple case of one clock, one regulator. You may construct your own notifier handler as needed and I have said this many times in the past. I would also point out that if a DT binding existed to properly express operating points as tuples of clock/clock-rate and support for multiple regulator/voltage pairs then I would have implemented that in this patch. As it stands the OPP library today doesn't go into that complexity nor does the operating-points DT binding. This patch chooses the path of least resistance. > > > > > diff --git a/drivers/clk/clk-voltage-notifier.c b/drivers/clk/clk-voltage-notifier.c > > index cb6b85f..8e1707f 100644 > > --- a/drivers/clk/clk-voltage-notifier.c > > +++ b/drivers/clk/clk-voltage-notifier.c > > @@ -10,6 +10,7 @@ > > */ > > > > #include > > +#include > > for example - we should not depend on cpufreq in a generic clock based > dvfs approach. we would like to allow devfreq also to transition to this. See patch #1 in this series. Patch #2 builds on patch #1 to handle the very common case of CPUfreq. It is purely a helper and the goal is to reduce the duplicated boilerplate that would go into every CPUfreq driver if this patch did not exist. I would also like to see devfreq drivers use this mechanism and they can do exactly that with the stuff made available in patch #1. There is clearly no dependency on CPUfreq for you to scale voltage from a clock rate-change notifier.
