Yeah, a bit. Initially I wanted to solve it in a cleaner way, like it
is done for Tegra, where you will pass the right clock name to the OPP
core, so it can verify that the clk is there and parse the table. And
then tell the OPP core not to configure the clk from
dev_pm_opp_set_opp(), which is possible now. This would have done the
things in the right way.

The problem with Qcom's DT is that the CPU node have the OPP table but
doesn't contain the clocks, which are available with the
qcom,cpufreq-hw node instead. Because of this, I couldn't pass the
real clocks name to the OPP core, "xo", for the CPU device.

I really tried to avoid adding the above code for Tegra and found a
better and cleaner way out. But I couldn't do the same here and
figured it may be more generic of a problem, which is fine as well.

The OPP core does two things currently:

1) Parse the DT and provide helpers to find the right OPP, etc.

2) Provide generic helper to configure all resources related to the
   OPP.

It is fine if some platforms only want to have the first and not the
second. To have the second though, you need to have the first as well.

The clk is required only for the second case, and the OPP core should
parse the DT anyways, irrespective of the availability of the clock.
Because of this reason, making the above change looked reasonable
(this is what was happening before my new patches came in anyway). The
clock isn't there, but there is "opp-hz" present in the DT, which
needs to be parsed.

Ahh, I missed switching back to the earlier code here. i.e. not use
the frequency for OPP directory's name, when it is 0.

This will fix it.

I have merged this into:

commit 341df9889277 ("OPP: Allow multiple clocks for a device")

and pushed out for linux-next.


Bjorn, Mani,

It would be really good if we can find a way to make following work on
Qcom:

        clk_get(cpu_dev, NULL or "xo")

If that happens, we can handle the special case just at the consumer
driver (qcom-cpufreq-hw) and not in the core.
