[PATCH v4 1/2] dt-bindings: cpufreq: add virtual cpufreq device

From: David Dai
Date: Fri Nov 10 2023 - 20:49:59 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 frequency domain.

+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. Each vCPU
+ is associated with a frequency domain which can be shared with other vCPUs.
+ Each frequency domain has its own set of registers for frequency controls.

+ description:
+ Address and size of region containing frequency controls for each of the
+ frequency domains. Regions for each frequency domain is placed
+ contiugously and contain registers for controlling DVFS(Dynamic Frequency
+ and Voltage) characteristics. The size of the region is proportional to
+ total number of frequency domains.
