Every S4 speed bin runs the same CPU frequencies but needs its own
voltage curve, and the bin can only be read through the secure monitor.

Read the bin from the firmware, select the matching
"opp-microvolt-speed<bin>" property for all CPUs, then register
cpufreq-dt. Bins outside the known range fall back to bin 0, which
has the highest voltages. Like sun50i-cpufreq-nvmem, the driver binds
on the SoC compatible and needs no node of its own, and S4 is added to
the cpufreq-dt-platdev blocklist so cpufreq-dt is only created after
the bin has been applied.

Is it safe to apply just this one ? I can take this via the PM tree then.
I would advise to wait a little for Amlogic to chime in.

Viresh, thanks, but please don't apply it alone. It would need the speed-bin call from patch 3 (meson_sm), and without the CPU clock from patch 2 it has nothing to scale.

Best regards,
Christian

Sure, I wasn't going to wait for the maintainers to respond anyway.
