Unable to change scaling_available_frequencies

Hi all.

I have a Banana Pi M1+ and I want to use it as a NAS using a SATA HDD (1TB).

I read this article

http://linux-sunxi.org/Cpufreq#Performance.2Ffunctionality_impacts

and I want to change the scaling_max_freq.

I installed the "Armbian_5.20_Bananapi_Debian_jessie_4.7.3" image.

But the maximum frequencies available is 960000.

I tried to compile the kernel by myself, changing the file

sources\linux-vanilla\v4.9.5\arch\arm\boot\dts\sun7i-a20.dtsi

as suggested in other posts.

        cpu0: cpu@0 {
            compatible = "arm,cortex-a7";
            device_type = "cpu";
            reg = <0>;
            clocks = <&cpu>;
            clock-latency = <244144>; /* 8 32k periods */
            operating-points = <
                /* kHz      uV */
                1200000    1500000
                1152000    1500000
                1104000    1450000
                1056000    1450000
                1008000    1450000
                960000    1400000
                912000    1400000
                864000    1300000
                720000    1200000
                528000    1100000
                312000    1000000
                144000    1000000
                >;

I changed also this row in compile.sh file

FORCE_CHECKOUT="no"            # ignore manual changes to source

I verified that the file sources\linux-vanilla\v4.9.5\arch\arm\boot\dts\sun7i-a20.dtsi wasn't changed at the end of the compilation process. This is output of the compialtion:

linux-headers-next-sunxi_5.24_armhf.deb
linux-image-next-sunxi_5.24_armhf.deb
linux-firmware-image-next-sunxi_5.24_armhf.deb
linux-u-boot-next-bananapipro_5.24_armhf.deb
linux-dtb-next-sunxi_5.24_armhf.deb

I copied them on the Banana Pi and installed them with

dpkg -i *.deb

After rebooting, this is the output of the command "uname -a"

Linux bananapi 4.9.5-sunxi #4 SMP Tue Jan 24 11:33:41 CET 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux

and this is my "/etc/default/cpufrequtils"

ENABLE=true
MIN_SPEED=480000
MAX_SPEED=1200000
GOVERNOR=ondemand

but the output of the command "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies"

is still the same

144000 312000 528000 720000 864000 912000 960000

What is wrong? Can someone help me?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

P.S. During kernel compilation I changed the default configuration to choose the "ondemand" governor as default governor rather than "schedutil". This change was successfully applied after reboot.
