big LITTLE is ARM's new Architecture focussing power/performance needs of modern
world. More information about big LITTLE can be found here:
http://www.arm.com/products/processors/technologies/biglittleprocessing.phphttp://lwn.net/Articles/481055/
In order to keep cpufreq support for all big LITTLE platforms simple/generic,
this patch tries to add a generic cpufreq driver layer for all big LITTLE
platforms.
The driver is divided into two parts:
- Core driver: Generic and shared across all big LITTLE SoC's
- Glue drivers: Per platform drivers providing ops to the core driver
This patch adds in a generic glue driver which would extract information from
Device Tree.
Future SoC's can either reuse the DT glue or write their own depending on the
need.

Here is the big driver core merge for 3.9-rc1
There are two major series here, both of which touch lots of drivers all
over the kernel, and will cause you some merge conflicts:
- add a new function called devm_ioremap_resource() to properly be
able to check return values.
- remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
If you need me to provide a merged tree to handle these resolutions,
please let me know.
Other than those patches, there's not much here, some minor fixes and
updates.

The Marvell Kirkwood SoCs have simple cpufreq support in hardware. The
CPU can either use the a high speed cpu clock, or the slower DDR
clock. Add a driver to swap between these two clock sources.

Add an imx6q-cpufreq driver for Freescale i.MX6Q SoC to handle the
hardware specific frequency and voltage scaling requirements.
The driver supports module build and is instantiated by the platform
device/driver mechanism, so that it will not be instantiated on other
platforms, as IMX is built with multiplatform support.

The OMAP driver needs a 'depends on ARCH_OMAP2PLUS' since it only
builds for OMAP2+ platforms.
This 'depends on' was in the original patch from Russell King, but was
erroneously removed by me when making this option user-selectable in
commit b09db45c (cpufreq: OMAP driver depends CPUfreq tables.) This
patch remedies that.
Apologies to Russell King for breaking his originally working patch.
Also, thanks to Grazvydas Ignotas for reporting the same problem.

The S3C2416/S3C2450 SoCs support two sources for the armclk.
The first source is the so called armdiv which divides the msysclk down
to provide necessary cpu rates. In this mode the core voltage must be
always at 1.3V. The frequency from the armdiv is not allowed to be
lower than the hclk frequency.
In the second mode the armclk can be sourced directly from the hclk in
the so called "dynamic voltags scaling" (dvs) mode. Here the armdiv
isn't used at all. Also in this mode the core voltage may be lowered.
Existing hardware and tests with it suggest 1.0V as sufficient.
When changing the clock source to the armdiv from the hclk, the SoC
shows stability issues if the new frequency is higher than the current
hclk frequency. Hence the driver always forces the armdiv to the hclk
frequency before the source change and lets the cpufreq issue another
set_target call for higher frequencies.
To mark the hclk frequency as lower as the corresponding armdiv
frequency it is set 1MHz below the real frequency. This lets the cpufreq
framework change between 133MHz based on hclk and 133MHz based on armdiv
at will.

According to discussion of the ARM arch subsystem migration,
ARM cpufreq drivers move to drivers/cpufreq. So this patch
adds Kconfig.arm for ARM like x86 and adds Samsung S5PV210
and EXYNOS4210 cpufreq driver compile in there.
As a note, otherw will be moved.
