qcom-cpufreq: Move the enabling of the CPU/L2 clocks to CPU_STARTING



It is a requirement of PLLs in MSM SoCs that the PLL power
supplies be enabled while the PLL is running. If the PLL is
locked and outputs enabled, turning off the regulator(s)
supplying the PLL will cause the PLL to enter an unpredictable
state.

Now in the CPU_UP_PREPARE notifier, the CPU clocks are prepared
and enabled, causing the source HFPLLs to also turn on. Note
that the CPU isn't clocked yet. It is possible that execution is
pre-empted and the CPU running the notifier enters power
collapse. If all other CPUs also enter power collapse, then it
is possible for an RPM notification to go out, allowing the RPM
to transition the Apps processor to its sleep set. This can
result in the HFPLL supplies being turned off while the HFPLL is
running, violating the requirement mentioned above. Once the CPU
is unclamped, the CPU is effectively unclocked, due to the HFPLL
being in an unknown state.

There is a check that is enabled in the PM code's CPU_UP_PREPARE
notifier callback. This check ensures that the problematic RPM
notification cannot occur until the core that is being brought
online also enters power collapse. However, there is no ordering
guarantee between that PM's hotplug notifier callback's execution
and the cpufreq hotplug notifier callback's execution. This
ordering depends on program link order, which is unreliable.

It is necessary to ensure that once the HFPLL is enabled, the
RPM cannot transition apps to its sleep set. Move the enabling
of the CPU clocks to the CPU_STARTING notifier, which runs on
the CPU bring brought online. The CPU_STARTING notifier is
guaranteed to run after the CPU_UP_PREPARE notifier, which
implies that the aforementioned do-not-notify-rpm check is
executed *before* the HFPLL is enabled. Therefore even if all
cores enter power collapse after the HFPLL is enabled, the
HFPLL supplies are guaranteed to stay on, or the CPU clock
is switched to the safe source and the HFPLL is turned off.
