Source: linux
Version: 6.5~rc7-1~exp1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Starting with kernel 6.5, the cpufreq-dt-platdev driver can be built as
module [1]. This is done through the CPUFREQ_DT_PLATDEV config, which is
selected by CPUFREQ_DT. However the cpufreq-dt-platdev is not
autoloaded.

On the configs enabling the CPUFREQ_DT module, that is armel/rpi, armhf
and arm64, this means that CPUFREQ_DT_PLATDEV is changed from built-in
in 6.4 to module in 6.5. In turns this means that cpufreq is not
supported anymore unless the cpufreq-dt-platdev is manually loaded.
Tested on a RK3568 based ODROID-M1 board.

We should probably force CPUFREQ_DT_PLATDEV=y on the configs where
CPUFREQ_DT=m.

I encountered the same issue on MNT Reform with Banana Pi CM4 module
(Amlogic A311D / meson g12b). The processor operates at lowest speed and
toolig can't display CPU freqs, until the cpufreq-dt-platdev module is
loaded manually.
