Hi Dave,

Thanks for sharing the knowledge :-)

The "opp_high" property brings support for 1.5 GHz CPU frequency

This can't be blindly enabled for all am57xx SoCs,

Yes, I'm fully aware of AVS, which uses fuses and SoC silicon revision
to assess if frequency can be enabled.

Example from my playground:

- AM5728 works with 1.5 GHz enabled

- AM5718 hangs when I try to enable 1.5 GHz frequency


there is a
forthcoming ti-cpufreq [1] driver

I've backported and tested this code on v4.9 vanilla. It works :-)

that is needed that will decided
which OPPs can and cannot be enabled for the specific variant in use.

I do have a question:

Do you know the correct opp-supported-hw value for 1.5 GHz on AM57x8
SoC?
In TI's SDK Linux (v4.4): opp-supported-hw = <0xFF 0x04>; but this seems
to be always enabled (and not taking silicon revision and efuse into
account).

There is a TISDK 4.9 being built up as well (we typically do let the driver soak for a test cycle prior to posting it upstream) but if it is of interest.. it should match the version Dave posted upstream..

http://git.ti.com/ti-linux-kernel/ti-linux-kernel/blobs/ti-lsk-linux-4.9.y/arch/arm/boot/dts/dra7.dtsi#line100

For my use case it would be best to see what data should prevent my
AM5718 from 1.5 GHz OPP.

In other words I need to be 100% sure that my silicon SoC version
doesn't support the 1.5 GHz frequency.


look at dra7_efuse_xlate which does a speed grade decode of the speeds permitted.. a value of 15 or 23 should permit 1.5GHz. those are common for DRA7/AM57 SoCs.

If the efuses seem set for 1.5GHz, the chip should be capable of 1.5GHz, i'd start suspecting regulators, slew rates and the like.

http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruhz7
rev d: page 371 -> 23 (0x17) = X speed designator Refer to device DM for supported speed grades for a given device, and the definition for supported speed grades. So, if you go to http://www.ti.com/product/AM5718/datasheet/specifications#SWPS043-7245x -> you will see the "X" designator in AM5718xxX which does support 23 and 1.5GHz.


Now, if you did get one of the pre-production samples, it is possible to have efuses slightly messed up on very initial samples - at least internally, we have had them replaced and none of those samples should have exited TI.. but mistakes might happen.. if the efuse value does not meet the speed grade in documentation, then, please contact TI FAE your company works with and let them know for what to do alternatively, you can also file it on e2e.ti.com for further support.
