On Amlogic Meson GXBB & GXL platforms, the SCPI Cortex-M4 Co-Processor
seems to be dependent on the FCLK_DIV2 to be operationnal.
The issue occurred since v4.17-rc1 by freezing the kernel boot when
the 'schedutil' cpufreq governor was selected as default :
[ 12.071837] scpi_protocol scpi: SCP Protocol 0.0 Firmware 0.0.0 version
domain-0 init dvfs: 4
[ 12.087757] hctosys: unable to open rtc device (rtc0)
[ 12.087907] cfg80211: Loading compiled-in X.509 certificates for regulatory database
[ 12.102241] cfg80211: Loaded X.509 cert 'sforshee:
00b28ddf47aef9cea7'
But when disabling the MMC driver, the boot finished but cpufreq failed to
change the CPU frequency :
[ 12.153045] cpufreq: __target_index: Failed to change cpu frequency: -5
A bisect between v4.16 and v4.16-rc1 gave
05f814402d61 ("clk: meson: add fdiv clock gates") to be the first bad commit.
This commit added support for the missing clock gates before the fixed PLL
fixed dividers (FCLK_DIVx) and the clock framework basically disabled
all the unused fixed dividers, thus disabled a critical clock path for
the SCPI Co-Processor.
This patch simply sets the FCLK_DIV2 gate as critical to ensure
nobody can disable it.
