commit 2482bc31ca8096241b8fa97610ef23154ce55f45 upstream.

The sti-cpufreq does unconditional registration of the cpufreq-dt driver
which causes issue on an multi-platform build. For example, on Vexpress
TC2 platform, we get the following error on boot:

cpu cpu0: OPP-v2 not supported
cpu cpu0: Not doing voltage scaling
cpu: dev_pm_opp_of_cpumask_add_table: couldn't find opp table
	for cpu:0, -19
cpu cpu0: dev_pm_opp_get_max_volt_latency: Invalid regulator (-6)
...
arm_big_little: bL_cpufreq_register: Failed registering platform driver:
		vexpress-spc, err: -17

The actual driver fails to initialise as cpufreq-dt is probed
successfully, which is incorrect. This issue can happen to any platform
not using cpufreq-dt in a multi-platform build.

This patch adds a check to do selective initialization of the driver.

commit 1becf03545a0859ceaaf9e8c2d9861882a71cb01 upstream.

When the config TDP level is not nominal (level = 0), the MSR values for
reading level 1 and level 2 ratios contain power in low 14 bits and actual
ratio bits are at bits [23:16]. The current processing for level 1 and
level 2 is wrong as there is no shift done to get actual ratio.

<title>cpufreq: mediatek: allow building as a module</title>

The MT8173 cpufreq driver can currently only be built-in, but
it has a Kconfig dependency on the thermal core. THERMAL
can be a loadable module, which in turn makes this driver
impossible to build.

It is nicer to make the cpufreq driver a module as well, so
this patch turns the option in to a 'tristate' and adapts
the dependency accordingly.

The driver has no module_exit() function, so it will continue
to not support unloading, but it can be built as a module
and loaded at runtime now.

<content type='text'>
My previous patch to avoid link errors with the qoriq cpufreq
driver disallowed all of the broken cases, but also prevented
the driver from being built when CONFIG_THERMAL is a module.

This changes the dependency to allow the cpufreq driver to
also be a module in this case, just not built-in.

gcc warns quite a bit about values returned from allocate_resources()
in cpufreq-dt.c:

cpufreq-dt.c: In function 'cpufreq_init':
cpufreq-dt.c:327:6: error: 'cpu_dev' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
cpufreq-dt.c:197:17: note: 'cpu_dev' was declared here
cpufreq-dt.c:376:2: error: 'cpu_clk' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
cpufreq-dt.c:199:14: note: 'cpu_clk' was declared here
cpufreq-dt.c: In function 'dt_cpufreq_probe':

cpufreq-dt.c:447:14: note: 'cpu_clk' was declared here

The problem is that it's slightly hard for gcc to follow return
codes across PTR_ERR() calls.

This patch uses explicit assignments to the "ret" variable to make
it easier for gcc to verify that the code is actually correct,
without the need to add a bogus initialization.

There are two definitions of pxa_cpufreq_change_voltage, with slightly
different prototypes after one of them had its argument marked 'const'.
Now the other one (for !CONFIG_REGULATOR) produces a harmless warning:

drivers/cpufreq/pxa2xx-cpufreq.c: In function 'pxa_set_target':
drivers/cpufreq/pxa2xx-cpufreq.c:291:36: warning: passing argument 1 of 'pxa_cpufreq_change_voltage' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]

 static int pxa_cpufreq_change_voltage(struct pxa_freqs *pxa_freq)
            ^

This changes the prototype in the same way as the other, which
avoids the warning.

<content type='text'>
There is a race discovered by Juri, where we are able to:
- create and read a sysfs file before policy-&gt;governor_data is being set
  to a non NULL value.
  OR
- set policy-&gt;governor_data to NULL, and reading a file before being
  destroyed.

And so such a crash is reported:

There is a race discovered by Juri, where we are able to:
- create and read a sysfs file before policy-&gt;governor_data is being set
  to a non NULL value.
  OR
- set policy-&gt;governor_data to NULL, and reading a file before being
  destroyed.

And so such a crash is reported:
