On sc7180 it's not the first non-zero corner.

As this means that anyone who needs any of the rpmhpd domains active also needs to specify required-opps, which wouldn't be needed for any other power domain provider. And more importantly it means that a device sitting in a GDSC, which would be parented by a rpmhpd domain has no way to specify the GDSC and trickle the minimum-vote up to the rpmhpd domain. (And I know that we don't describe the parentship of the GDSCs today, but this patch tells me that it's around the corner - for more than MMCX) Regards, Bjorn > > > > And if this (which?) clock requires a higher corner than the lowest > > possible in order to tick at this "lowest" frequency, I'm certainly > > interested in some more details. > >
