I really think clk_enable and clk_disable should also be triggering notifier call and DVFS should act accordingly since there are cases drivers won't set clock rate but instead disable its clock directly, do you agree? > > There are three prerequisites to using this feature: > > 1) the affected clocks must be using the common clk framework > 2) voltage must be scaled using the regulator framework > 3) clock frequency and regulator voltage values must be paired via the > OPP library
Just a note, Tegra Core won't meet prerequisite #3 since each regulator voltage values is associated with clocks driving those many sub-HW blocks in it.
