[PATCH v3 1/2] dt-bindings: cpufreq: add bindings for virtual cpufreq

From: David Dai
Date: Mon Jul 31 2023 - 13:47:38 EST


Adding bindings to represent a virtual cpufreq device.

Virtual machines may expose MMIO regions for a virtual cpufreq device for
guests to read frequency information or to request frequency selection. The
virtual cpufreq device has an individual controller for each CPU.

+description:
+ Virtual CPUFreq is a virtualized driver in guest kernels that sends frequency
+ selection of its vCPUs as a hint to the host through MMIO regions. The host
+ uses the hint to schedule vCPU threads and select physical CPU frequency. It
+ enables accurate Per-Entity Load Tracking for tasks running in the guest by
+ querying host CPU frequency unless a virtualized FIE (ex. AMU) exists.
