v2 cover Improvements to the Tegra CPUFREQ driver
This patch set adds below improvements to the Tegra194 CPUFREQ driver. They are applicable to all the Tegra SoC's supported by the driver.
1) Patch 1: Avoid making SMP call on every frequency request to reduce the time for frequency set and get calls.
2) Patch 2: Use reference clock count based loop instead of udelay() to improve the accuracy of re-generated CPU frequency.
The patches are not related but have minor conflict. So, need to be applied in order of patch numbers. If 'Patch 2' is to be applied first then will rebase that and send separately.

PATCH v2 1/2 cpufreq: tegra194: save CPU data to avoid repeated SMP calls
Currently, we make SMP call on every frequency set request to get the physical 'CPU ID' and 'CLUSTER ID' for the target CPU. This change optimizes the repeated calls by storing the physical IDs and the per core frequency register offset for all CPUs during boot. Later this info is used directly when required to set the frequency or read it from ACTMON counters.

PATCH v2 2/2 cpufreq: tegra194: use refclk delta based loop instead of udelay
In reply to Sumit GuptaUse reference clock count based loop instead of "udelay()" for sampling of counters to improve the accuracy of re-generated CPU frequency. "udelay()" internally calls "WFE" which stops the counters and results in bigger delta between the last set freq and the re-generated value from counters. The counter sampling window used in loop is the minimum number of reference clock cycles which is known to give a stable value of CPU frequency. The change also helps to reduce the sampling window from "500us" to "<50us".
