<content type='text'>
Currently the ti-cpufreq driver blindly registers a 'ti-cpufreq' to force
the driver to probe on any platforms where the driver is built in.
However, this should only happen on platforms that actually can make use
of the driver. There is already functionality in place to match the
SoC compatible so let's factor this out into a separate call and
make sure we find a match before creating the ti-cpufreq platform device.

Most of the ARM platforms used cpufreq-dt driver irrespective of
whether it's big-little(HMP) or SMP system. This arm_big_little_dt is
not used actively at all.

So let's remove the driver, so that it need not be maintained.

<title>cpufreq: drop ARM_BIG_LITTLE_CPUFREQ support for ARM64</title>

ARM_BIG_LITTLE_CPUFREQ depends on topology_physical_package_id to get
the cluster id which inturn provides the information on related cpus
in the same performance domain.

ARM64 core doesn't provide the cluster information as it's not
architecturally defined. There are no users of this driver in ARM64
after the one and only user(SCPI) moved away. So let's ban the usage
of this driver for ARM64.

     support, mostly with a few quirks and enumeration differences. (Pu

If the policy limits change between invocations of cs_dbs_update(),
the requested frequency value stored in dbs_info may not be updated
and the function may use a stale value of it next time.  Moreover, if
idle periods are takem into account by cs_dbs_update(), the requested
frequency value stored in dbs_info may be below the min policy limit,
which is incorrect.

To fix these problems, always update the requested frequency value
in dbs_info along with the local copy of it when the previous
requested frequency is beyond the policy limits and avoid decreasing
the requested frequency below the min policy limit when taking
idle periods into account.

Fixes: abb6627910a1 (cpufreq: conservative: Fix next frequency selection)
Fixes: 00bfe05889e9 (cpufreq: conservative: Decrease frequency faster for deferred updates)
