Eduardo Valentin 77cff5926a cpufreq: cpufreq-cpu0: add dt node parsing for cooling device properties
This patch changes the cpufreq-cpu0 driver to consider if
a cpu needs cooling (with cpufreq). In case the cooling is needed,
the cpu0 device tree node needs to be properly configured
with cooling device properties.

In case these properties are present,, the driver will
load a cpufreq cooling device in the system. The cpufreq-cpu0
driver is not interested in determining how the system should
be using the cooling device. The driver is responsible
only of loading the cooling device.

Describing how the cooling device will be used can be
accomplished by setting up a thermal zone that references
and is composed by the cpufreq cooling device.

Generic CPU0 cpufreq driver
It is a generic cpufreq driver for CPU0 frequency management. It
supports both uniprocessor (UP) and symmetric multiprocessor (SMP)
systems which share clock and voltage across all CPUs.
Both required and optional properties listed below must be defined
under node /cpus/cpu@0.
Required properties:
- operating-points: Refer to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/opp.txt
for details
Optional properties:
- clock-latency: Specify the possible maximum transition latency for clock,
in unit of nanoseconds.
- voltage-tolerance: Specify the CPU voltage tolerance in percentage.
- #cooling-cells:
- cooling-min-level:
- cooling-max-level:
Please refer to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/thermal/thermal.txt.
Examples:
cpus {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
cpu@0 {
compatible = "arm,cortex-a9";
reg = <0>;
next-level-cache = <&L2>;
operating-points = <
/* kHz uV */
792000 1100000
396000 950000
198000 850000
>;
clock-latency = <61036>; /* two CLK32 periods */
#cooling-cells = <2>;
cooling-min-level = <0>;
cooling-max-level = <2>;
};
cpu@1 {
compatible = "arm,cortex-a9";
reg = <1>;
next-level-cache = <&L2>;
};
cpu@2 {
compatible = "arm,cortex-a9";
reg = <2>;
next-level-cache = <&L2>;
};
cpu@3 {
compatible = "arm,cortex-a9";
reg = <3>;
next-level-cache = <&L2>;
};
};
