Pirot to that devfreq and devfreq-event framework defines the fixed 'devfreq' and 'devfreq-event' property to get the devfreq/devfreq-event phandle. But, these property name are not expressing the h/w. So, deprecate the fixed property name of both 'devfreq' and 'devfreq-event'. But, in order to keep the backward compatibility of devicetree, doesn't change the property name on devfreq device drivers and devicetree.
This patchset picks only three patches from patchset[1]. [1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11304545/ - [v2,00/11] PM / devfreq: Remove deprecated 'devfreq' and 'devfreq-events' properties Changes from v2: - Send the patches related to both devfreq_get_devfreq_by_phandle and devfreq_event_get_edev_by_phandle function to change the function prototype. Changes from v1: - Edit function name by removing '_by_node' postfix. - Split out dt-binding patch to make it the separte patch. - Add Lukasz's tag for exynos5422-dmc Chanwoo Choi (2): PM / devfreq: Change prototype of devfreq_get_devfreq_by_phandle function PM / devfreq: event: Change prototype of devfreq_event_get_edev_by_phandle function Leonard Crestez (1): PM / devfreq: Add devfreq_get_devfreq_by_node function drivers/devfreq/devfreq-event.c | 14 +++--- drivers/devfreq/devfreq.c | 57 ++++++++++++++++++------- drivers/devfreq/exynos-bus.c | 7 +-- drivers/devfreq/rk3399_dmc.c | 2 +- drivers/memory/samsung/exynos5422-dmc.c | 6 ++- include/linux/devfreq-event.h | 14 ++++-- include/linux/devfreq.h | 11 ++++- 7 files changed, 78 insertions(+), 33 deletions(-) -- 2.17.1
