Backend driver to dynamically set voltage and frequency on
IBM POWER non-virtualized platforms. Power management SPRs
are used to set the required PState.
This driver works in conjunction with cpufreq governors
like 'ondemand' to provide a demand based frequency and
voltage setting on IBM POWER non-virtualized platforms.
PState table is obtained from OPAL v3 firmware through device
tree.
powernv_cpufreq back-end driver would parse the relevant device-tree
nodes and initialise the cpufreq subsystem on powernv platform.
The code was originally written by svaidy@linux.vnet.ibm.com. Over
time it was modified to accomodate bug-fixes as well as updates to the
the cpu-freq core. Relevant portions of the change logs corresponding
to those modifications are noted below:
* The policy->cpus needs to be populated in a hotplug-invariant
manner instead of using cpu_sibling_mask() which varies with
cpu-hotplug. This is because the cpufreq core code copies this
content into policy->related_cpus mask which should not vary on
cpu-hotplug. [Authored by srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com]
* Create a helper routine that can return the cpu-frequency for the
corresponding pstate_id. Also, cache the values of the pstate_max,
pstate_min and pstate_nominal and nr_pstates in a static structure
so that they can be reused in the future to perform any
validations. [Authored by ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com]
* Create a driver attribute named cpuinfo_nominal_freq which creates
a sysfs read-only file named cpuinfo_nominal_freq. Export the
frequency corresponding to the nominal_pstate through this
interface.
Nominal frequency is the highest non-turbo frequency for the
platform. This is generally used for setting governor policies
from user space for optimal energy efficiency. [Authored by
ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com]
* Implement a powernv_cpufreq_get(unsigned int cpu) method which will
return the current operating frequency. Export this via the sysfs
interface cpuinfo_cur_freq by setting powernv_cpufreq_driver.get to
powernv_cpufreq_get(). [Authored by ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com]

CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE will be always enabled when cpufreq framework is used, as
cpufreq core depends on it. So, we don't need this CONFIG option anymore as it
is not configurable. Remove CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE and update its users.

CPUFreq driver of this platform uses APIs from freq_table.c and so must select

Add simple cpufreq driver for Maple-based boards (ppc970fx evaluation
kit and others). Driver is based on a cpufreq driver for 64-bit powermac
boxes with all pmac-dependant features removed and simple cleanup
applied.
