The purpose of this patchset is to support CPUFreq on Pistachio SoC. However, given Pistachio uses the MIPS GIC clocksource and clockevent drivers (clocked from the CPU), adding CPUFreq support needs some work. This patchset changes the MIPS GIC clockevent driver to update the frequency of the per-cpu clockevents using a clock notifier. Then, we add a clocksource driver for IMG Pistachio SoC, based on the general purpose timers. The SoC only provides four timers, so we can't use them to implement the four clockevents and the clocksource. However, we can use one of these timers to provide a clocksource and a sched clock. Given the general purpose timers are clocked from the peripheral system clock tree, they are not affected by CPU rate changes. Patches 1 to 3 are just style cleaning and preparation work. Patch 4 adds the clockevent frequency update. Patches 5 and 6 add the new clocksource driver. Patch 7 introduces an option to enable the timer based clocksource on Pistachio. For CPUFreq to really work, clk driver changes are needed to support MIPS PLL clock rate change. Patches for this will be posted soon. This series apply on v4.1-rc4. As always, comments and feedback are welcome!
