Dear Detlev Zundel,
In message m2hbitgthb.fsf@ohwell.denx.de you wrote:
You mean replace "maxspeed" by "cpuclk"? As I have noted a number of times before, we are not passing the cpu clock speed here. That information kernel directly reads from system registers. No need to pass it from U-Boot. The example you are giving is not the right comparison.
Ok, then currently I would vote for "cpumaxspeed_mhz".
Even though its pretty descriptive - for the sake of consistency I recommend to omit the "_mhz" part. Also, I feel that "clock" would be more appropriate than "speed". And we should consider that we already use "cpuclk" for very similar purposes in U-Boot.
Can we agree on "cpumaxclk" ?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
