Since pm_genpd_add_device is used here, no gpd_timing_data can be
provided. Do you have a plan to solve this? Should the timing data be
provided from the device tree?
Hmm, a quick grep over kernel sources for genpd_.*_add_device
gives just a single user of __pm_genpd_name_add_device(), with custom
timing data:
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c-void rmobile_add_device_to_domain_td(const char *domain_name,
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c- struct platform_device *pdev,
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c- struct gpd_timing_data *td)
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c-{
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c- struct device *dev = &pdev->dev;
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c-
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c: __pm_genpd_name_add_device(domain_name, dev, td);
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c- if (pm_clk_no_clocks(dev))
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c- pm_clk_add(dev, NULL);
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c-}
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c-
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c-void rmobile_add_devices_to_domains(struct pm_domain_device data[],
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c- int size)
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c-{
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c- struct gpd_timing_data latencies = {
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c- .stop_latency_ns = DEFAULT_DEV_LATENCY_NS,
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c- .start_latency_ns = DEFAULT_DEV_LATENCY_NS,
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c- .save_state_latency_ns = DEFAULT_DEV_LATENCY_NS,
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c- .restore_state_latency_ns = DEFAULT_DEV_LATENCY_NS,
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c- };
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c- int j;
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c-
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c- for (j = 0; j < size; j++)
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c- rmobile_add_device_to_domain_td(data[j].domain_name,
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c- data[j].pdev, &latencies);
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/pm-rmobile.c-}
Moreover the timings used there are just defaults, which makes me wonder
if there is any reason to specify them explicitly. Even more interesting
is the fact that genpd code can measure those latencies itself.
Do you have a particular use case for those timing data or just
wondering? I don't think we need to implement support for them right
away, if there is no real need to do so. The code and bindings can be
extended later to handle them, if needed.
As for whether DT is appropriate place to define them, I'm not quite
sure. Stop and start latencies look like hardware parameters, but state
save and restore are likely to be driver-specific, as it depends on
driver code how much time it takes to save and restore needed state
(e.g. driver with register cache will not need to do any state save), if
I understand these timing data correctly.
Best regards,
Tomasz
