Thanks for your suggestion. "operating-points-v2" would have to be an array of phandles, a single thottler can have multiple throttling devices. > Unless there is some need for a different throttler for each OPP entry? Having the option to use different OPPs per throttler would be my preference. E.g. there could be configurations where one throttler only interacts with certain throttling devices and another one with others. I see another option to achieve this, if you don't like the reference to the throttlers in the OPPs. The throttler could have a list of OPPs (as phandles, not frequencies as in v1). The main inconvenient I see here is that the used OPPs would need a label, which they usually don't have. Maybe this is no soooo bad, since the label could be added at device level, only on devices that use a throttler, so it wouldn't clutter the platform .dts files. This could be a single array with all OPPs from different devices, or multiple arrays, one for each throttling device: throttler-opps-0 = <&cpu0_opp_03 &cpu0_opp_05>; throttler-opps-1 = <&gpu_opp_02 &gpu_opp_04>; My preference would be multiple arrays, because it's easier to read. What do you think?
