Viresh Kumar bbcf071969 cpufreq: cpu0: rename driver and internals to 'cpufreq_dt'
The naming convention of this driver was always under the scanner, people
complained that it should have a more generic name than cpu0, as it manages all
CPUs that are sharing clock lines.

Also, in future it will be modified to support any number of clusters with
separate clock/voltage lines.

Lets rename it to 'cpufreq_dt' from 'cpufreq_cpu0'.

Generic cpufreq driver
It is a generic DT based cpufreq driver for frequency management. It supports
both uniprocessor (UP) and symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) systems which share
clock and voltage across all CPUs.
Both required and optional properties listed below must be defined
under node /cpus/cpu@0.
Required properties:
- None
Optional properties:
- operating-points: Refer to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/opp.txt for
details. OPPs *must* be supplied either via DT, i.e. this property, or
populated at runtime.
- clock-latency: Specify the possible maximum transition latency for clock,
in unit of nanoseconds.
- voltage-tolerance: Specify the CPU voltage tolerance in percentage.
- #cooling-cells:
- cooling-min-level:
- cooling-max-level:
Please refer to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/thermal/thermal.txt.
Examples:
cpus {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
cpu@0 {
compatible = "arm,cortex-a9";
reg = <0>;
next-level-cache = <&L2>;
operating-points = <
/* kHz uV */
792000 1100000
396000 950000
198000 850000
>;
clock-latency = <61036>; /* two CLK32 periods */
#cooling-cells = <2>;
cooling-min-level = <0>;
cooling-max-level = <2>;
};
cpu@1 {
compatible = "arm,cortex-a9";
reg = <1>;
next-level-cache = <&L2>;
};
cpu@2 {
compatible = "arm,cortex-a9";
reg = <2>;
next-level-cache = <&L2>;
};
cpu@3 {
compatible = "arm,cortex-a9";
reg = <3>;
next-level-cache = <&L2>;
};
};
