[PATCH v2 0/7] PM / devfreq: Add initial imx support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This adds devfreq support for imx8mm, covering dynamic scaling of
internal NOC and DDR Controller

Scaling for simple busses (NIC/NOC) is done through the clk framework
while DRAM scaling is performed in firmware with an "imx-ddrc" wrapper
for devfreq.

Changes since v1:
 * bindings: Stop using "contains" for "compatible"
 * bindings: Set "additionalProperties: false" and document missing stuff.
 * Remove (c) from NXP copyright notice
 * Fix various checkpatch issues
 * Remove unused dram_alt_root clk from imx-ddrc
Link to v1: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-arm-kernel/list/?series=158773

Changes since RFC v3:
 * Implement passive support and set NOC's parent to DDRC
 * Drop scaling AHB/AXI for now (NOC/DDRC use most power anyway)
 * Stop relying on clk_min_rate
 * Split into two devreq drivers (and bindings) because the ddrc is
really a distinct piece of hardware.
 * Perform DRAM frequency inside devfreq instead of clk, mostly due to
objections to earlier RFCs for imx8m-dram-clk.
 * Fetch info about dram clk parents from firmware instead of
hardcoding in driver. This can more easily support additional rates.

Scaling buses can cause problems for devices with realtime bandwith
requirements such as display, the intention is to use the interconnect
framework to make DEV_PM_QOS_MIN_FREQUENCY to devfreq. There are
separate patches for that:
