Hi Sibi,

Though this is not the latest version, we've seen following issue:

We would get lockdep warnings on this:

In _find_opp_of_np()[1], there's
lockdep_assert_held(&opp_table_lock);

[1] https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/opp/of.c#L75

But in governor passive.c#cpufreq_passive_register(), it call
dev_pm_opp_find_opp_of_np() directly, so it wouldn't access
opp_table_lock lock.

Another similar place is in dev_pm_opp_of_add_table(), most devfreq
would call this to get opp table.
dev_pm_opp_of_add_table
--> _opp_add_static_v2
--> _of_opp_alloc_required_opps // would goes here if opp
table contains "required-opps" property.
--> _find_opp_of_np
cpufreq-map governor needs devfreq to have "required-opps" property.
So it would also trigger above lockdep warning.


The question is: Is lockdep_assert_held(&opp_table_lock); needed in
above use cases? Since they don't need to modify device and opp lists.

Thanks
