1Generic cpufreq driver
2
3It is a generic DT based cpufreq driver for frequency management.  It supports
4both uniprocessor (UP) and symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) systems which share
5clock and voltage across all CPUs.
6
7Both required and optional properties listed below must be defined
8under node /cpus/cpu@0.
9
10Required properties:
11- None
12
13Optional properties:
14- operating-points: Refer to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/opp/opp.txt for
15  details. OPPs *must* be supplied either via DT, i.e. this property, or
16  populated at runtime.
17- clock-latency: Specify the possible maximum transition latency for clock,
18  in unit of nanoseconds.
19- voltage-tolerance: Specify the CPU voltage tolerance in percentage.
20- #cooling-cells:
21     Please refer to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/thermal/thermal.txt.
