[PATCH 0/8] PM / OPP: Multiple regulator support

Hi,

Some platforms (like TI) have complex DVFS configuration for CPU
devices, where multiple regulators are required to be configured to
change DVFS state of the device. This was explained well by Nishanth
earlier [1].

Some thoughts went into it few months back but then it all got lost. I
am trying to get that back on track with this thread.

One of the major complaints around multiple regulators case was that the
DT isn't responsible in any way to represent the ordering in which
multiple supplies need to be programmed, before or after frequency
change. It was considered in this patch and such information is left to
the platform specific OPP driver now, which can register its own
opp_set_rate() callback with the OPP core and the OPP core will then
call it during DVFS.

The patches are tested on Exynos5250 (Dual A15). I have hacked around DT
and code to pass values for multiple regulators and verified that they
are all properly read by the kernel (using debugfs interface).

Though more testing on real (TI) platforms would be useful.

This is rebased over: pm-4.9-rc1 tag in the PM tree.
