mvebu: armada-37xx: add patch to forbid cpufreq for 1.2 GHz
This patch is backported from linux-arm-kernel [1] to improve situation, when it was reported that 1.2 GHz variant is unstable with DFS. It waits to be accepted upstream, however, it waits for Marvell people to respond.

Subject: [PATCH v2] cpufreq: armada-37xx: forbid cpufreq for 1.2 GHz variant
|
||||||
|
Date: Thu, 1 Jul 2021 00:56:01 +0200

||||||
|
The 1.2 GHz variant of the Armada 3720 SOC is unstable with DVFS: when
|
||||||
|
the SOC boots, the WTMI firmware sets clocks and AVS values that work
|
||||||
|
correctly with 1.2 GHz CPU frequency, but random crashes occur once
|
||||||
|
cpufreq driver starts scaling.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We do not know currently what is the reason:
|
||||||
|
- it may be that the voltage value for L0 for 1.2 GHz variant provided
|
||||||
|
by the vendor in the OTP is simply incorrect when scaling is used,
|
||||||
|
- it may be that some delay is needed somewhere,
|
||||||
|
- it may be something else.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The most sane solution now seems to be to simply forbid the cpufreq
|
||||||
|
driver on 1.2 GHz variant.
