Yeah, but in that case 1200 *may* not be a turbo frequency anymore, as the voltage constraints might have changed. So turbo frequency is something that should be used only in small bursts, as they are consume lot of power. They aren't available to be used freely. They may also have thermal side effects.. In a similar way, for suspend-freq, we may or may not want the lowest frequency to be used during suspend and so that can change as well. And we shouldn't have suspend-freq set for two OPP nodes. -- viresh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
