I'm working on a cpufreq driver for the 750GX so I don't think I have to
worry about being to platform specific.
Would a compile time configuration be a good idea (hrtimer or
get_cycles() assisted timing)?
In the 2.4 code I just used a timer 2 ticks in the future to be certain
I did not go under the 100 us PLL lock delay. I was trying to see if I
could cut the latency down.
What about using OF? Isn't there a timebase property for the cpus?
Thoughts?
