[PATCH v13] cpufreq: mediatek-hw: Add support for Mediatek cpufreq HW driver

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

 



The CPUfreq HW present in some Mediatek chipsets offloads the steps necessary for changing the frequency of CPUs. 
The driver implements the cpufreq driver interface for this hardware engine. 

>From v12 to v13, there are two modifications.
1. Move related_cpus function to common place, so all performance-domain cpufreq driver can refer.
2. Make cpu resource init to each policy rather than per-cpu

>From v11 to v12, there are two modifications.
1. Based on patchset[1], align binding with scmi for performance domain(latest version).
2. Shrink binding example wording. 

>From v8 to v9, there are three more modifications.
1. Based on patchset[2], align binding with scmi for performance domain.
2. Add the CPUFREQ fast switch function support and define DVFS latency.
3. Based on patchser[3], add energy model API parameter for mW.

>From v7 to v8, there are three more patches based on patchset v8[4].
This patchset is about to register power table to Energy model for EAS and thermal usage.
1. EM CPU power table
- Register energy model table for EAS and thermal cooling device usage.
- Read the coresponding LUT for power table.
2. SVS initialization
- The SVS(Smart Voltage Scaling) engine is a hardware which is
  used to calculate optimized voltage values for CPU power domain.
  DVFS driver could apply those optimized voltage values to reduce power consumption.
- Driver will polling if HW engine is done for SVS initialization.
  After that, driver will read power table and register it to EAS.
- CPUs must be in power on state when doing SVS. Use pm_qos to block cpu-idle state for SVS initializing.
3. Cooling device flag
- Add cooling device flag for thermal
