But I see in rpmhpd that sc7180 is not one of these platforms, so I presume this means that the displayport controller thereby sits in MDSS_GDSC parented by CX. But in line with what you're saying, the naming of the supplies to the QMP indicates that the power for the PLLs is static. As such the only moving things would be the clock rates in the DP controller and as such that's what needs to scale the voltage. So if the resources we're scaling is the clocks in the DP controller then the gist of the patch is correct. The only details I see is that the DP controller actually sits in MDSS_GDSC - while it should control the level of its parent (CX). Not sure if we can describe that in a simple way. PS.
