Hi Krzysztof,

Thanks for the review.

To clarify, which pieces are specific to the Odroid Exynos 5422
family, and which are common to the entire Exynos 542x family? I'm
thinking the gpu node is common to the 542x family, including the
interrupts and clock, and the regulator and opp table are specific to
the Odroid 5422?

We have two operating performance points for the GPU, but I'm not sure
at what temperature we should trip the lower opp. Looking at the trip
temperatures for the CPU, we have four alerts, and one critical trip.
The highest alert is 85 C, would it be reasonable to trigger the lower
GPU opp at this temperature? Should it trigger sooner?

I've checked, and this property can be removed safely.

I'm unsure how LDO27 is used, can you elaborate?

Best,
