The "mediatek,mt8183-mali" compatible uses platform data that calls for
getting (and managing) two regulators ("mali" and "sram") but devfreq
does not support this usecase, resulting in DVFS not working.
Since a lot of MediaTek SoCs need to set the voltages for the GPU SRAM
regulator in a specific relation to the GPU VCORE regulator, a MediaTek
SoC specific driver was introduced to automatically satisfy, through
coupling, these constraints: this means that there is at all no need to
manage both regulators in panfrost but to otherwise just manage the main
"mali" (-> gpu vcore) regulator instead.
Keeping in mind that we cannot break the ABI, the most sensible route
(avoiding hacks and uselessly overcomplicated code) to get a MT8183
node with one power supply was to add a new "mediatek,mt8183b-mali"
compatible, which effectively deprecates the former.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
