When the mediatek-cpufreq-hw driver enables the hardware (by
writing to REG_FREQ_ENABLE), if the regulator supplying the voltage to
the big CPUs hasn't probed yet, the platform hangs shortly after and
"rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks" are printed in
the log.

To prevent this from happening, describe the big CPUs regulator in the
performance-controller DT node, so that devlink ensures the regulator
has been probed and configured before the frequency scaling hardware is
probed and enabled.

I think the regulator needs to be mentioned in the CPU's node and not
here ?

Even if the regulator voltage is being changed by firmware with cpufreq-hw, the
actual regulators should go to each CPU node and not in the cpufreq driver node,
I agree with Viresh.

Besides, that's the same thing that we're doing with mediatek-cpufreq as well...
and since we're talking about that, we should also do something about this such
that we stop declaring `regulator-always-on` for CPU cores in devicetree, but
this is probably slightly out of context for what you're trying to do here, so,
read that as an "extra consideration" :-)

Cheers,
Angelo
