stable inclusion from linux-4.19.205 commit 16a4777a05bc8fbcc90f4a10e3f79723bfe81579
--------------------------------
[ Upstream commit 484f2b7c61b9ae58cc00c5127bcbcd9177af8dfe ]
The 1.2 GHz variant of the Armada 3720 SOC is unstable with DVFS: when the SOC boots, the WTMI firmware sets clocks and AVS values that work correctly with 1.2 GHz CPU frequency, but random crashes occur once cpufreq driver starts scaling.
We do not know currently what is the reason: - it may be that the voltage value for L0 for 1.2 GHz variant provided by the vendor in the OTP is simply incorrect when scaling is used, - it may be that some delay is needed somewhere, - it may be something else.
The most sane solution now seems to be to simply forbid the cpufreq driver on 1.2 GHz variant.
