Suggested alternative: have two registration functions like so:
int em_register_dev_pd(struct device *dev, unsigned int nr_states, struct em_data_callback *cb); int em_register_cpu_pd(cpumask_t *span, unsigned int nr_states, struct em_data_callback *cb);
Interesting, in the internal review Dietmar asked me to remove these two functions. I had the same idea, which would simplify a bit the registration and it does not need to check the dev->bus if it is CPU.
Unfortunately, we would need also two function in drivers/opp/of.c: dev_pm_opp_of_register_cpu_em(policy->cpus); and dev_pm_opp_of_register_dev_em(dev);
Thus, I have created only one registration function, which you can see in this patch set.
Right, I can see how having a unified API would be appealing, but the OPP dependency is a nono, so we'll need to work around one way or another.
FWIW, I don't think having separate APIs for CPUs and other devices is that bad given that we already have entirely different frameworks to drive their respective frequencies. And the _cpu variants are basically just wrappers around the _dev ones, so not too bad either IMO :).
Thanks, Quentin
