PATCH 1/1 TI: DaVinci DA850 EVM: support passing device speed grade information to kernel

The TI DA850/OMAP-L138/AM18x EVM can be populated with devices of different speed grades.

The maximum speed the chip can support can only be determined from the label on the package (not software readable).

Introduce a method to pass the speed grade information to kernel using ATAG_REVISION. The kernel uses this information to determine the maximum speed reachable using cpufreq.

Note that U-Boot itself does not set the CPU rate. The CPU speed is setup by a primary bootloader ("UBL"). The rate setup by UBL could be different from the maximum speed grade of the device.

IMHO, the logic could be simplified?

option 2:
if you think that the speeds could get added in the future, that switch is going to look pretty ugly.. use a lookup instead..

Yeah, I put it in there in case additional fields pop-up in board revision. It doesn't make a lot of sense now so I will remove it.

Not sure how this simplifies the logic. I'd argue multiple strtoul calls are actually better avoided. How does it handle the case where max speed is to be set using board configuration?

Right now there is no known plan to add more speeds so I will stick with the switch. You are right, option of using a lookup deserves a look-in if there were a lot more speed steps.

I still don't see how this handles the case when maxspeed env variable is not set. The above code will just default to rev = 0 in that case.

We haven't gotten rid of any constructs either so not sure what the simplification here is.

I still don't see how this handles the case when maxspeed env variable is not set. The above code will just default to rev = 0 in that case.

it does the same here as well (default rev = 0). and the fact that compared to v1, |= was avoided (this is part of v2 of the patch).

got rid of a var maxspeed - but I doubt it will have much benefit, please consider my objection withdrawn.. just to point to the note that the var has not much of a lifetime or a function beyond providing data to the switch..
