For scaling bus frequency, we already have infrastructure in place - clock notifiers - discussion of using that is much deeper topic of it's own. for each processor that is uniquely transitioning, we'd have it's own sets of OPPs - the correct representation of the device node is the key there. -- Regards, Nishanth Menon -- 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
