Where is this frequency changed ? In the OPP > table in DT? I apologize for being unclear. What I meant is that the bootloader originally set the max frequency to 1206 MHz. The OPP table in DTS was written based on that value. Later, someone changed the bootloader code to set a slightly higher max frequency. When I flashed the new bootloader on my board, the OPP table no longer matches the actual frequency. But I am not notified when bootloader authors change max frequencies, which is why I wrote "changed the max freq behind my back". Again, sorry for the confusing statements.

Yes _div_round_up() was being called [ 10.631624] _div_round_up: parent_rate=1215000000 rate=1206000000 div=2 [ 10.648229] clk_divider_set_rate: rate=607500000 parent_rate=1215000000 div=2 int div = DIV_ROUND_UP_ULL((u64)parent_rate, rate); Since the divider is rounded up, and parent_rate > rate, we get a divider of 2, so 607.5 MHz All dividers (d + epsilon) are rounded to d+1 >> But setting it breaks in dev_pm_opp_set_rate() >> >> [ 9.201681] set_target: index=4 >> [ 9.204870] dev_pm_opp_set_rate: target_freq=1206000000 freq=1215000000 old_freq=243000000 > > I have some assumptions on how you are printing this line and will present my > analysis based on that. > cpufreq core asked for a freq of 1206 (why?, DT should have had 1215 as max), That's the source of the problem: DT has 1206 as max. (Because max freq was changed in the bootloader, and the DT was not updated.) Maybe this is the real issue that needs to be addressed, rather than the symptoms that turn up later because of the root issue. What's your take?
