Manivannan Sadhasivam Oct. 20, 2020, 3:39 p.m. UTC
Add devicetree documentation for 'qcom,freq-domain' property specific
to Qualcomm CPUs. This property is used to reference the CPUFREQ node
along with Domain ID (0/1).

Do you mind to change "qcom, freq-domain" to common naming? or drop the
prefix. So that we can use this CPU node and map it to each freq-domain.
Thanks a lot.

There's no 3 patches doing the same thing. Mediatek and SCMI are the 
others. This will need to be common.

This property is used by existing dtbs for Qualcomm sdm845, sm8150,
sm8250 and sc7180 based devices, so I expect that the support for the
existing property will stay.

It can be done. We'd need to do the following:

- schema defines the common property/binding.
- The kernel supports both names and that is backported to stable.
- Update all the Qcom dts files to the new binding

Whether we actually do that or not, I'd like to keep the option open. 
Aligning the current proposals should be possible. My concern is more 
about what's the next addition and non-cpu device support.

In the meantime can we get this series merged?
