From fe829ed8ef1f3c7ac22843bd594ef2f6c4044288 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Viresh Kumar Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2017 15:42:48 +0530 Subject: cpufreq: Add CPUFREQ_NO_AUTO_DYNAMIC_SWITCHING cpufreq driver flag The policy->transition_latency field is used for multiple purposes today and its not straight forward at all. This is how it is used: A. Set the correct transition_latency value. B. Set it to CPUFREQ_ETERNAL because: 1. We don't want automatic dynamic switching (with ondemand/conservative) to happen at all. 2. We don't know the transition latency. This patch handles the B.1. case in a more readable way. A new flag for the cpufreq drivers is added to disallow use of cpufreq governors which have dynamic_switching flag set. All the current cpufreq drivers which are setting transition_latency unconditionally to CPUFREQ_ETERNAL are updated to use it. They don't need to set transition_latency anymore. There shouldn't be any functional change after this patch. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar Reviewed-by: Dominik Brodowski Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
