For a 900MHz i.MX6ULL CPU the 792MHz OPP is disabled. There is no
convincing reason to disable this OPP. If a CPU can run at 900MHz,
it should also be able to cope with 792MHz. Looking at the voltage
level of 792MHz in [1] (page 24, table 10. "Operating Ranges") the
current defined OPP is above the minimum. So the voltage level
shouldn't be a problem. Although in [2] (page 24, table 10.
"Operating Ranges") 792MHz isn't mentioned there isn't note that
792MHz OPP isn't allowed. Change it to only disable 792MHz OPP for
i.MX6ULL types below 792 MHz.

Hi Christoph,

Thanks for your patch.

I find this part:

"792MHz isn't mentioned there isn't note that 792MHz OPP isn't allowed."

a bit confusing.

Maybe:

"However in [2] (page 24, table 10. "Operating Ranges"), it is not 
mentioned that 792MHz OPP isn't allowed."

I think it is worth adding a Fixes tag so that this fix could be 
backported
to stable kernels.

You are right, your suggestion expresses it more clearly.
I will change it in V2.

You mean the following fixes tag when the change was introduced?
Fixes: 0aa9abd4c212 ("cpufreq: imx6q: check speed grades for i.MX6ULL")
But if I'm right, then it goes down to version 4.19 and maybe the
commit 11a3b0ac33d9 ("cpufreq: imx6q: don't warn for disabling a non-existing frequency")
is also needed to easily apply.

Christoph
