There was an old thread, https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/9/20/931

Aisheng proposed a opp->set_clk implemented, but rejected by Viresh.
Viresh suggested resolve this issue in clk driver to let clk driver handle
the cpu clk freq change.

ok

 Either write a proper clk

Do you have any suggestions if put the cpu clk freq change in clk driver?
i.MX7ULP has some special requirements, it has RUN and HSRUN registers
which match 500MHz and 720MHz, to run at 500MHz, need configure RUN
related registers; to run at 720MHz, need configure HSRUN related registers.
So the cpu clk is mux marked with CLK_IS_CRITICAL. However in its parent
tree, pll and pfd needs CLK_SET_RATE_GATE. So after pll/pfd prepared,
its freq could not be changed, because of protected.

As described above, the pll/pfd flag has CLK_SET_RATE_GATE, the mux
has flag CLK_IS_CRITICAL. So the pll/pfd freq could not be changed because
clk framework marked pll/pfd protected.

Anyway I'll try to find more to see any new solutions.

When run at 720MHz, cpu are only allowed cpu core wfi. So I add pm qos
to block low power idle.
