Question about frequencies with Banana Pi (A20)

Hi,

 

No real problem, just a question. I'm using latest Armbian Jessie 5.25 with my good old Banana Pi.

root@marvin:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
144000 312000 528000 720000 864000 912000 960000
root@marvin:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
480000
root@marvin:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
960000

Please notice that 480MHz (the min freq) is not in the available frequencies.

 

So that gives the following output with cpufreq-info :

root@marvin:~# cpufreq-info

Report errors and bugs to cpufreq@vger.kernel.org, please.
analyzing CPU 0:
  driver: cpufreq-dt
  CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0 1
  CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0 1
  maximum transition latency: 244 us.
  hardware limits: 144 MHz - 960 MHz
  available frequency steps: 144 MHz, 312 MHz, 528 MHz, 720 MHz, 864 MHz, 912 MHz, 960 MHz
  available cpufreq governors: conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance, schedutil
  current policy: frequency should be within 480 MHz and 960 MHz.
                  The governor "schedutil" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 528 MHz (asserted by call to hardware).

Should I set /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq to 528000 or is there a problem with 480MHz not being in available frequencies ?

 

IIRC I had the same problem with the previous kernel (Armbian 5.24), I do not remember if it happened before.
