Thank you for working on this. :) I wonder what SoC bin you tested this on. I have a patch to print it here: https://megous.com/git/linux/commit/?h=ths-5.7&id=c5ddd2a45c7e04dcec31619b58de7c798ad6594c > I also test that that offlining CPU0 and doing DVFS on other CPUs works. > As CPU regulator is only set for CPU0. > > But maybe it doesn't cost much to set the regulator for all the CPUs? > > Jernej test the GPU devfreq on several H6 board particulary the Tanix TX6 which > doesn't have a proper dedicated PMIC and doesn't had any trouble with it. > > Do you think I can enable GPU OPP for all H6 Boards? > > Also Yangtao Li enable DVFS for OrangePi and Pine64, as I can't test them I > didn't reenable these boards.

Feel free to add these OPPs also to OrangePi 3 dts, I've been running mine with this OPP table for at least a year already (I have the worst SoC bin). Though I'll run a bit more comprehensive test for more frequencies, like you did, just to be sure. One thing I wonder about is if there should not be some small ramp delay on the CPU regulator node, because voltage change probably takes some small time to apply, compared to changing the PLL frequency. And I have no idea if the CPU is not running for some very small time out of spec during transitions. I didn't find timing information in the PMIC datasheet, but I suppose based on the DCDCA frequency of 3MHz that it will adapt to the new voltage in the range of 1s-10s of microseconds. In datasheet of the similar PMIC (AXP813) there is this note: DVM (Dynamic Voltage scaling Management) ramp rate: 2.5mV/us at buck frequency 3MHz I think it will be simiar with AXP805. regards, o. > Thanks, > Clément > > 0: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10815117/ > 1: https://megous.com/git/linux/log/?h=ths-5.7 > 2: https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/OrangePiH6_Linux4_9/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/sunxi/sun50iw6p1.dtsi#L345-L517 > 3: https://gist.github.com/clementperon/55a055dae3f13bbd14fb39c0069fe2e2 > > Clément Péron (4): > arm64: dts: allwinner: h6: set thermal polling time > arm64: dts: allwinner: h6: Add GPU Operating Performance Points table > arm64: configs: Enable sun50i cpufreq nvmem > arm64: dts: allwinner: h6: Enable CPU and GPU opp tables for Beelink > GS1 > > Ondrej Jirman (2): > arm64: dts: allwinner: h6: Add thermal trip points/cooling map > arm64: dts: allwinner: h6: Add CPU Operating Performance Points table > > Yangtao Li (1): > arm64: dts: allwinner: h6: Add clock to CPU cores > > .../dts/allwinner/sun50i-h6-beelink-gs1.dts | 10 +- > .../boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h6-cpu-opp.dtsi | 103 ++++++++++++++++++ > .../boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h6-gpu-opp.dtsi | 74 +++++++++++++ > arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h6.dtsi | 44 +++++++- > arch/arm64/configs/defconfig | 1 + > 5 files changed, 226 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) > create mode 100644 arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h6-cpu-opp.dtsi > create mode 100644 arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h6-gpu-opp.dtsi > > -- > 2.20.1 > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to linux-sunxi+unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. > To view this discussion on the web, visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/linux-sunxi/20200405104913.22806-1-peron.clem%40gmail.com.
