But I'm worried the problem you mentioned won't be solved even if we work on this new driver in the future. My work on the MT8183 scpsys(now v17) is to implement the new hardware logic. Here, I also see related patches, which means that these new logics are necessary. Why can't we work on the original driver? Meanwhile, I thought maybe we should separate the driver into general control and platform data for each SoC, otherwise it'll keep getting bigger and bigger if it need to be support new SoC. And consider DVFSRC (dynamic voltage and frequency scaling resource collector), should we keep the original driver name "scpsys" instead of "pm-domains" because it may provide more functions than power domains? > All this information can be getted from a properly defined binding, so > can be cleaner and smaller, hence, we implemented a new driver.
