However I had a thought after seeing recent patch series by Mike[1] Since the OPPs are usually associated with clocks, and multiple devices sharing clocks will point to same clock node in DT, clk node is more logical place to specify the OPPs. IMO this will be good alignment for the consolidation effort by Mike. One issue with this approach is backward compatibility(using old DT) Regards, Sudeep [1] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-July/182231.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
