[PATCH v4 0/6] PM / devfreq: Add dynamic scaling for imx8m ddr controller

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

 



This adds support for dynamic scaling of the DDR Controller (ddrc) present in
imx8m series. Actual frequency switching is implemented inside TF-A, this
driver wraps the SMC calls and synchronizes the clk tree.

DRAM frequency switching requires clock manipulation but during this operation
DRAM itself is briefly inaccessible so this operation is performed a SMC call
to by TF-A which runs from a SRAM area. Upon returning to linux the clock tree
is updated to correspond to hardware configuration.

This is handled via CLK_GET_RATE_NO_CACHE for dividers but muxes are handled
manually: the driver will prepare/enable the new parents ahead of switching (so
that the expected roots are enabled) and afterwards it will call clk_set_parent
to ensure the parents in clock framework are up-to-date.

This series is atomically useful and roughly similar to devfreq drivers for
tegra and rockchip.

Running at lower dram rates saves power but can affect the functionality of
other blocks in the chip (display, vpu etc). Support for in-kernel constraints
will some separately.

Angus/Martin: You previously attempted to test on purism boards, this updated
version should work without hacks and has no dependencies.

Changes since v3:
* Rename to imx8m-ddrc. Similar blocks are present on imx7d and imx8qxp/imx8qm
but soc integration is different.
* Move dt bindings to /memory-controllers/fsl/
* Fix dt validation issues
* Fix imx8mm.dtsi ddrc referencing ddrc_opp_table which is only defined in evk
* Move opps to child of ddrc device node
* Only add imx_ddrc_get_dev_status in perf patch.
* Adjust print messages
