[PATCH v2 0/6] cpufreq: ti: Fix probe ordering and add device link support for K3 SoCs

[Akashdeep Kaur]

For K3 SoCs, ti-cpufreq depends on k3-socinfo to provide SoC revision
information via soc_device_match(). If ti-cpufreq probes before
k3-socinfo, soc_device_match() returns NULL, causing incorrect 
revision detection and OPP table initialization failures.

Add EPROBE_DEFER handling in ti-cpufreq when soc_device_match() fails
for K3 SoCs, ensuring k3-socinfo probes first.

Add device link support via a new DT property "ti,soc-info" in CPU
OPP tables. Device links prevent unbinding k3-socinfo while
ti-cpufreq is using it.

EPROBE_DEFER handles first-boot probe ordering, while device links
provide runtime dependency management.

For backward compatibility, the DT property is optional.

Changes in v2
- Added DT bindings documentation for ti,soc-info property
- Reordered patches: bindings first, then driver changes, then DTS
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260330120105.2985200-1-a-kaur@ti.com/

Testing
- Verified correct probe ordering on AM625, AM62A7, AM62P5 platforms

[PATCH v2 2/6] dt-bindings: opp: ti-cpu: Add ti,soc-info property

[Akashdeep Kaur]

Add ti,soc-info property to allow OPP tables to reference the SoC info
device (chipid) for establishing device link dependencies.

This is used on K3 SoCs (AM625, AM62A7, AM62L3, AM62P5) to ensure proper
probe ordering between ti-cpufreq and k3-socinfo drivers. The ti-cpufreq
driver depends on k3-socinfo registering the SoC device for revision
detection via soc_device_match().

The device link also prevents unbinding k3-socinfo while ti-cpufreq is
using it, maintaining system stability.

Nope, sorry, DT purpose is not to perform probe ordering.

If I change Linux to load k3-socinfo before ti-cpufreq, then the binding
becomes invalid?

Not a DT property, drop.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

[PATCH v2 3/6] cpufreq: ti: Add device link to k3-socinfo

[Akashdeep Kaur]

Create explicit device link from CPU device to k3-socinfo when the OPP
table specifies ti,soc-info property. This prevents unbinding k3-socinfo
while ti-cpufreq is using it for SoC revision detection.
This complements the EPROBE_DEFER handling that ensures initial probe
ordering.
