Subject: [PATCH 0/7] Implement CPU frequency scaling for TH1520

On TH1520 SoC, c910_clk feeds the CPU cluster. It could be glitchlessly
reparented to one of the two PLLs: either to cpu_pll0 indirectly through
c910_i0_clk, or to cpu_pll1 directly. This series fixes a bug in PLL
enabling code, supports rate change for PLL, and finally implements
frequency scaling support for c910_clk.

However, to achieve reliable frequency scaling, CPU voltage must be
adjusted together with frequency, and AON-firmware-based PMIC support
for TH1520 SoC is still missing in mainline. Thus PATCH 7 that fills OPP
table for TH1520 CPU and enables CPUfreq is only for testing purpose,
not intended for upstream (yet).

Testing is done on Lichee Pi 4A board, only operating points safe
to be used with the the default PMIC configuration are enabled in
devicetree. I've confirmed there's a performance gain when running
coremark and some building work compared to the case without cpufreq.

This series is based on next-20251120, thanks for your time and review.

Yao Zi (7):
  dt-bindings: clock: thead,th1520-clk-ap: Add ID for C910 bus clock
  clk: thead: th1520-ap: Poll for PLL lock and wait for stability
  clk: thead: th1520-ap: Add C910 bus clock
  clk: thead: th1520-ap: Support setting PLL rates
  clk: thead: th1520-ap: Add macro to define multiplexers with flags
  clk: thead: th1520-ap: Support CPU frequency scaling
  [Not For Upstream] riscv: dts: thead: Add CPU clock and OPP table for
    TH1520
