Subject: [PATCH RFC net-next] net: airoha: npu: attach passive devfreq scaling
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 08:29:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104072940.52933-1-ansuelsmth@gmail.com> (raw)
The NPU can scale to different operating state from idle to normal to
turbo. Attach a passive devfreq that will scale the NPU frequency with the
CPU with the use of OPP table and opp-required properties.
Signed-off-by: Christian Marangi <ansuelsmth@gmail.com>

Posted as RFC to understand if it's the correct way to handle this...
DT patch will come later.
