Hi Sekhar,
The TI DA850/OMAP-L138/AM18x EVM can be populated with devices having different maximum allowed CPU clock rating.
The maximum clock the chip can support can only be determined from the label on the package (not software readable).
Introduce a method to pass the maximum allowed clock rate information to kernel using ATAG_REVISION. The kernel uses this information to determine the maximum cpu clock rate reachable using cpufreq.
Ok, so I see you ignore my comments on not using the ATAG_REVISION tag for passing clock frequncies which is fair enough if nobody else
No, not "clock frequncies", but "maximum device operating point" information (which depends on the silicon populated on the EVM).
I am sure you mean exactly that, but using terminology loosely can create a very different impression.
But then please _at least_ document this in the README and not only in the git diff files. This is still the most obscure aspects of the change for me and should be prominent in the documentation.
Sure, will send out an update.
Thanks, Sekhar
