Subject: [PATCH] arm64: dts: meson: remove CPU opps below 1GHz for G12B/SM1
Amlogic G12B and SM1 devices experience CPU stalls and random board
wedges when the system idles and CPU cores clock down to lower opp
points. Recent vendor kernels include a change to remove 100-250MHz
(with no explanation) [0] but other downstream sources also remove
the 500/667MHz points (also with no explanation). Unless 100-667Mhz
opps are removed or the CPU governor forced to performance, stalls
are observed, so let's remove them an improve stability/uptime.

Numerous people have experienced this issue and I have tested with
only the low opp-points removed and numerous voltage tweaks: but it
makes no difference. With the opp points present an Odroid N2 or
Khadas VIM3 reliably drop off my network after being left idling
overnight with UART showing a CPU stall splat. With the opp points
removed I see weeks of uninterupted uptime. It's beyond my skills
to research what the cause of the stalls might be, but if anyone
ever figures it out we can always restore things. NB: This issue
is not too widely reported in forums, but that's largely because
most of the Amlogic supporting distros have been including this
change picked from my kernel patchset for some time.
