Version 4 of the series is basically a rebase to v4.9-rc1, no functional changes. Texas Instruments' Keystone generation System on Chips (SoC) starting with 66AK2G02[1], now include a dedicated SoC System Control entity called PMMC(Power Management Micro Controller) in line with ARM architecture recommendations. The function of this module is to integrate all system operations in a centralized location. Communication with the SoC System Control entity from various processing units like ARM/DSP occurs over Message Manager hardware block. This series adds the base support for TI System Control Interface (TI-SCI) protocol[2]. The protocol is built on top of Texas Instrument's Message Manager communication mechanism[3]. Overall architecture is very similar to SCPI[4] as follows: +-------------+ +---------+ +------^-----+ | TI SCI GENPD| |TISCI Clk| |TISCI reset | +------+------+ +----+----+ +------+-----+ | | | | +----v--------------+ | +----------> TISCI Protocol(*) <--+ +----+--------------+ | +---v-----------+ | MAILBOX FWK | +---+-----------+ | +---v-----------+ | TI MSGMGR |-> TISCI hardware block +---------------+ (*) This series.
