On the other hand, DVFS driver is more suitable for > doing this job. Either way the DVFS driver handles the voltage change. Right now the driver is doing: 1. Raise voltage if scaling up 2. Mux CCI clock over to stable clock 3. Set rate for CCI PLL 4. Mux CCI clock back to CCI PLL 5. Drop voltage if scaling down I'm saying that the clock driver should handle 2+4 transparently when any driver requests a rate change on the CCI clock. So instead the driver would do: 1. Raise voltage if scaling up 2. Set rate for CCI _clock_ Here the clock driver would do: a. Mux CCI clock over to stable clock b. Change clock rate for original parent, i.e. the CCI PLL c. Mux CCI clock back to original parent, i.e. the CCI PLL and back to the devfreq driver ... 3. Drop voltage if scaling down Does that make sense? Regards ChenYu
