[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 2/2] TI: DaVinci DA850 EVM: support passing maximum allowed cpu clock rate information to kernel

[Sekhar Nori]

The TI DA850/OMAP-L138/AM18x EVM can be populated with devices
having different maximum allowed CPU clock rating.

The maximum clock the chip can support can only be determined from
the label on the package (not software readable).

Introduce a method to pass the maximum allowed clock rate information
to kernel using ATAG_REVISION. The kernel uses this information to
determine the maximum cpu clock rate reachable using cpufreq.

Note that U-Boot itself does not set the CPU clock rate. The CPU
clock is setup by a primary bootloader ("UBL"). The rate setup by
UBL could be different from the maximum clock rate supported by the
device.

Changes in v3:
a) renamed maxspeed to maxcpuclk
b) add information regarding the new environment variable in README.davinci
c) use if-else instead of switch to check for value range rather than specific
   values of maxcpuclk
d) change comment to document values returned in bit[0-3] by get_board_rev() in
   binary

+Environment Variables
+=====================
+
+The DA850 EVM allows the user to specify the maximum cpu clock allowed by the
+silicon, in Hz, via an environment variable "maxcpuclk".
+
+The maximum clock rate allowed depends on the silicon populated on the EVM.
+Please make sure you understand the restrictions placed on this clock in the
+device specific datasheet before setting up this variable.
+
+If "maxcpuclk" is not defined, the configuration CONFIG_DA850_EVM_MAX_CPU_CLK
+is used to obtain this information.
