The 1.2 GHz variant of the Armada 3720 SOC is unstable with DVFS: when the SOC boots, the WTMI firmware sets clocks and AVS values that work correctly with 1.2 GHz CPU frequency, but random crashes occur once cpufreq driver starts scaling. We do not know currently what is the reason: - it may be that the voltage value for L0 for 1.2 GHz variant provided by the vendor in the OTP is simply incorrect when scaling is used, - it may be that some delay is needed somewhere, - it may be something else. The most sane solution now seems to be to simply forbid the cpufreq driver on 1.2 GHz variant. Signed-off-by: Marek Behún <kabel@kernel.iorg> Fixes: 92ce45fb875d ("cpufreq: Add DVFS support for Armada 37xx") --- If someone from Marvell could look into this, it would be great since basically 1.2 GHz variant cannot scale, which is a feature that was claimed to be supported by the SOC. --- drivers/cpufreq/armada-37xx-cpufreq.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+)
