Shouldn't something that binds to the CPU nodes register the cpufreq device automatically, based on the CPU's compatible value?

This link has got some information why we can't have a node for cpufreq or a compatibility value.. http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cpufreq/9018

I certainly agree with that. However, I think it's reasonable that whatever code binds to: compatible = "arm,cortex-a9"; ... should instantiate any virtual devices that relate to the CPU. Doing so would be similar to how the Tegra I2S driver instantiates the internal struct device that ASoC needs for the PCM/DMA device, rather than having board-dt-tegra20.c do it, like it would have done in board-file days.

But how would we know here if platform really wants us to probe cpufreq-cpu0 driver? On multiplatform kernel there can be multiple cpufreq drivers available and there has to be some sort of code in DT or platform code that reflects which driver we want to use. We never required a device node for cpufreq, platform device was added just to solve this issue. > Doing so would be similar to how the Tegra I2S driver instantiates the > internal struct device that ASoC needs for the PCM/DMA device, rather > than having board-dt-tegra20.c do it, like it would have done in > board-file days. I haven't gone through it yet though :)

Presumably the code would look at the top-level DT node's compatible value (e.g. "nvidia,tegra20").

So you are actually asking us to get a compatibility list inside cpufreq-cpu0 driver which will list all the platforms for which this driver would work? Honestly speaking I wasn't in favor of getting a platform-device registered for cpufreq-cpu0 earlier and had few discussion on the thread I passed to you. The problem with the new solution you just proposed is, for every new platform that comes in we need to update this file.. And that's it probably.. Don't know how others would see it... @Rafael/Rob/Shawn: Any suggestions here?

cpufreq-cpu0 driver can be probed over DT only if a corresponding device node is created for the SoC which wants to use it. Lets create a platform device for cpufreq-cpu0 driver for Tegra. Also it removes the Kconfig entry responsible to compiling tegra-cpufreq driver and hence there will not be any conflicts between two cpufreq drivers.
