           Summary: us2e_cpufreq does not work on Netra t1 200
           Product: Power Management
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 2.6.29
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: cpufreq
        AssignedTo: cpufreq@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: seraph@xxxxxxxxx
        Regression: No


My Netra t1 AC 200 has an UltraSPARC IIe processor. However, the us2e_cpufreq
driver does not work properly on it.

Loading the us2e_cpufreq module sometimes crashes the entire system; the
console only spews endless binary garbage and the system is completely
unresponsive until powercycled. (The LOM unit still works, fortunately.) This
problem is intermittent, I can trigger it some of the time but not always.

However, even if the module does load without crashing the system, any attempt
to change the governor from the default "performance" to "ondemand" immediately
causes a watchdog reset:

seraphim ~ # modprobe us2e_cpufreq
seraphim ~ # cpufreq-info

Report errors and bugs to cpufreq@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, please.
analyzing CPU 0:
  driver: UltraSPARC-IIe
  CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0
  hardware limits: 62.5 MHz - 500 MHz
  available cpufreq governors: performance
  current policy: frequency should be within 62.5 MHz and 500 MHz.
                  The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 500 MHz (asserted by call to hardware).
