[RFC 00/19] Rework support for i.MX8MQ interconnect with devfreq

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

 



This has been on my queue for quite some time now. It is more of a
proof-of-concept.

This rework is done with the compatibility of future i.MX platforms in
mind. For example, the i.MX8MP platform has multiple NoCs. This
patchsets prepares the imx interconnect and imx devfreq for that too.

As of now, none of the drivers involved are being used and there is no
icc consumer on any off the i.MX platforms.

Basically, the steps taken here are the following:

1. Make the dram_apb clock "reparantable" from kernel.
This is needed in order to keep track of the actual parent of the 
dram_apb clock in the kernel clock hierarchy. Note that the actual
switch is done EL3 (TF-A).

2. Rework the imx-bus so the actual link between the icc and the 
NoCs or the pl301s is not tightly coupled. This allows us to have
as many NoCs as necessary but also allows as to use the same driver
for the pl301s. The pl301s have their own clocks too, so we need to
reduce their rates too.

3. Rework the imx8m-ddrc driver. Remove the support for dts defined
OPPs. The EL3 provides those. So instead of havingi to keep the OPP table in
both EL3 and kernel in sync, we rely on what the EL3 gives us.
Also, when the platform suspends, the bus needs to be running at highest
rate, otherwise there is a chance it might not resume anymore.
By adding the late system sleep PM ops we can handle that easily.

4. Rework the imx interconnect driver to use the fsl,icc-id instead
of the robust imx_icc_node_adj_desc for linking with the target node.
By adding the fsl,icc-id property to all the NoC and pl301 dts nodes,
we can link each icc node to their corresponding NoC, pl301 or dram.
Basically, when the imx interconnect platform specific driver probes,
it will take each node defined for that platform and look-up the
corresponding dts node based on the id and add that as the qos device.

5. Added the fec and usdhc as icc consumers. This is just as an example.
All the other consumers can be added later. Basically, each consumer
will add a path to their device node and in the driver will have to
handle that icc path accordingly.
