Merged both patches and applied. Thanks.

It seems that this new module is missing support for autoloading,
causing issues with CPUFREQ_DT=m.

Before that change, CPUFREQ_DT_PLATDEV ended up selected as =y. Now,
CPUFREQ_DT_PLATDEV ends up selected as =m. As it is not autoloaded, it
means that cpufreq-dt is not working anymore unless manually running
"modprobe cpufreq-dt-platdev".

Could you therefore please add support for autoloading?

Thanks,
Aurelien

Hi Aurelien,

I'm not sure why we need to make cpufreq-dt-platdev autoloading, does it make sense? As I understand it we need to actively modprobe cpufreq-dt-platdev, why not?



BRs,
Zhipeng

Hi,

This is needed to recover the old behavior, where if a CPU supports
cpufreq-dt, it get loaded automatically. Now users has to modprobe
cpufreq-dt-platdev explicitly to get cpufreq-dt to work. This seems like
a regression to me.

Of course one can explicitly make CPUFREQ_DT_PLATDEV=y, but the default
is to build cpufreq-dt-platdev as module when cpufreq-dt is built as
module.

Aurelien

Feel free to send me a patch to make this auto-load.
