If so that may not work as the current implementation of PCC Opregion assumes the exclusive access to the channel. Since it is initialised quite early, Opregion must succeed to get the mbox channel acquired and this driver must fail if they are sharing the channel. Making the sharing across firmware and this driver may need changes in the PCC Opregion support code. One possible way is to acquire and release the channel for each transaction which will be definitely overhead. -- Regards, Sudeep
