Most of the ARM platforms used cpufreq-dt driver irrespective of
whether it's big-little(HMP) or SMP system. This arm_big_little_dt is
not used actively at all.

So let's remove the driver, so that it need not be maintained.

Hi Viresh,

I don't know if anyone is using this driver in the mainline, most of
them just use cpufreq-dt these days. Does it make sense to remove this ?

Also I think SPC/TC2 is the only users of arm_big_little.c, does it
make sense to merge them ?

Regards,
Sudeep

I think so.

merge them ? Aren't they already supported in mainline ?

Ah sorry, wrong choice of words. I meant combine them into one driver
and make it TC2 specific if we don't see or have any other users of the
core arm_big_little driver. That's not a must though, just a thought.

Yeah, maybe that can be done too.
