+Support of energy performance hints
+It is possible to provide hints to the HWP algorithms in the processor
+to be more performance centric to more energy centric. When the driver
+is using HWP, two additional cpufreq sysfs attributes are presented for
+each logical CPU.
+These attributes are:
+	- energy_performance_available_preferences
+	- energy_performance_preference
+
+To get list of supported hints:
+$ cat energy_performance_available_preferences
+    default performance balance_performance balance_power power
+
+The current preference can be read or changed via cpufreq sysfs
+attribute "energy_performance_preference". Reading from this attribute
+will display current effective setting. User can write any of the valid
+preference string to this attribute. User can always restore to power-on
+default by writing "default".
+
+Since threads can migrate to different CPUs, this is possible that the
+new CPU may have different energy performance preference than the previous
+one. To avoid such issues, either threads can be pinned to specific CPUs
+or set the same energy performance preference value to all CPUs.

+Broadcom AVS mail box and interrupt register bindings
+=====================================================
+
+A total of three DT nodes are required. One node (brcm,avs-cpu-data-mem)
+references the mailbox register used to communicate with the AVS CPU[1]. The
+second node (brcm,avs-cpu-l2-intr) is required to trigger an interrupt on
+the AVS CPU. The interrupt tells the AVS CPU that it needs to process a
+command sent to it by a driver. Interrupting the AVS CPU is mandatory for
+commands to be processed.
+
+The interface also requires a reference to the AVS host interrupt controller,
+so a driver can react to interrupts generated by the AVS CPU whenever a command
+has been processed. See [2] for more information on the brcm,l2-intc node.
+
+[1] The AVS CPU is an independent co-processor that runs proprietary
+firmware. On some SoCs, this firmware supports DFS and DVFS in addition to
+Adaptive Voltage Scaling.
