When the binding was introduced I recall we punted on the parent child
conversion stuff. One problem at a time. There's also the possibility
for a power domain to be parented by multiple power domains so
translation tables need to account for that.
But for this case - and below display case - the subdomain (the device's
power-domain) is just a dumb gate. So there is no translation, the given
performance_state applies to the parent. Or perhaps such implicitness
will come back and bite us?
In the gate case I don't see how the implicitness will ever be a
problem.
I don't think we allow a power-domain to be a subdomain of two
power-domains - and again it's not applicable to USB or display afaict.
Ah maybe. I always confuse power domains and genpd.
Or we may need to make another part of the OPP binding to indicate the
relationship between the power domain and the OPP and the parent of
the power domain.
I suspect this would be useful if a power-domain provider needs to
translate a performance_state into a different supply-performance_state.
Not sure if we have such case currently; these examples are all an
adjustable power-domain with "gating" subdomains.
Even for this case, we should be able to have the GDSC map the on state
to some performance state in the parent domain. Maybe we need to add
some code to the gdsc.c file to set a performance state on the parent
domain when it is turned on. I'm not sure where the value for that perf
state comes from. I guess we can hardcode it in the driver for now and
if it needs to be multiple values based on the clk frequency we can push
it out to an OPP table or something like that.
For the GDSC I believe we only have 1:1 mapping, so implementing
set_performance_state to just pass that on to the parent might do the
trick (although I haven't thought this through).
Conceptually I guess this would be like calling clk_set_rate() on a
clock gate, relying on it being propagated upwards. The problem here is
that the performance_state is just a "random" integer without a well
defined unit.
Right. Ideally it would be in the core code somehow so that if there
isn't a set_performance_state function we go to the parent or some
special return value from the function says "call it on my parent". The
translation scheme could come later so we can translate the "random"
integer between parent-child domains.
As a proof of concept it should be sufficient to just add an
implementation of sc->pd.set_performance_state in gdsc.c. But I agree
that it would be nice to push this into some framework code, perhaps
made opt-in by some GENPD_FLAG_xyz.
At the end of the day the device
driver wants to set a frequency or runtime pm get the device and let the
OPP table or power domain code figure out what the level is supposed to
be.
Yes and this is already working for the non-nested case - where the
single power-domain jumps between performance states as the opp code
switches from one opp to another.
So if we can list only the child power-domain (i.e. the GDSC) and have
the performance_stat requests propagate up to the parent rpmhpd resource
I think we're good.
Let's give this a spin and confirm that this is the case...
The one case where I believe we talked about having different mapping
between the performance_state levels was in the relationship between CX
and MX. But I don't think we ever did anything about that...
Hmm alright. I think there's a constraint but otherwise nobody really
wants to change both at the same time.
Yes, a GDSC is really a gate on a parent power domain like CX or MMCX,
etc. Is the display subsystem an example of different clk frequencies
wanting to change the perf state of CX? If so it's a good place to work
out the translation scheme for devices that aren't listing the CX power
domain in DT.
Yes, the various display components sits in MDSS_GDSC but the opp-tables
needs to change the performance_state of MDSS_GDSC->parent (i.e. CX or
MMCX, depending on platform).
As I said, today we hack this by trusting that the base drm/msm driver
will keep MDSS_GDSC on and listing MMCX (or CX) as power-domain for each
of these components.
So if we solve this, then that seems to directly map to the static case
for USB as well.
Got it. So in this case we could have the various display components
that are in the mdss gdsc domain set their frequency via OPP and then
have that translate to a level in CX or MMCX. How do we parent the power
domains outside of DT? I'm thinking that we'll need to do that if MMCX
is parented by CX or something like that and the drivers for those two
power domains are different. Is it basic string matching?
In one way or another we need to invoke pm_genpd_add_subdomain() to link
the two power-domains (actually genpds) together, like what was done in
3652265514f5 ("clk: qcom: gdsc: enable optional power domain support").
In the case of MMCX and CX, my impression of the documentation is that
they are independent - but if we need to express that CX is parent of
MMCX, they are both provided by rpmhpd which already supports this by
just specifying .parent on mmcx to point to cx.
I was trying to follow the discussion, but it turned out to be a bit
complicated to catch up and answer all things. In any case, let me
just add a few overall comments, perhaps that can help to move things
forward.
First, one domain can have two parent domains. Both from DT and from
genpd point of view, just to make this clear.
Although, it certainly looks questionable to me, to hook up the USB
device to two separate power domains, one to control power and one to
control performance. Especially, if it's really the same piece of HW
that is managing both things.
[]..
Additionally, if it's correct to model
the USB GDSC power domain as a child to the CX power domain from HW
point of view, we should likely do that.
I think this would still require a few things in genpd, since
CX and USB GDSC are power domains from different providers.
Perhaps a pm_genpd_add_subdomain_by_name()?
Tried with the changes provided by you where USB GDSC power domains added as a child to the CX power domain
But cx shutdown is not happening during sytem suspend as we need to keep USB GDSC active in host mode .
In the USB driver suspend when you check for this condition, in order to keep the GDSC active, you would
perhaps have to drop the performance state vote and re-vote in resume.
I don;t think the genpd core can handle this in any way.
CX shutdown is not happening even after dropping the performance state in USB driver suspend.
Thats perhaps because you leave the gdsc enabled, which then means that GCC will not drop the CX vote to RPMh
Tried even without USB nodes in device tree cx shutdown is not happening
Perhaps some other gdsc is left enabled too other than usb?
Adding CX as a power-domain for GCC along with below patch
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210829154757.784699-6-dmitry.baryshkov@xxxxxxxxxx/ preventing CX shutdown.
Dmitry/Bjorn, can you confirm this is by design that if a gdsc is left enabled the CX vote would not be dropped?
What this means is that in usecases where usb leaves its gdsc enabled in system suspend (to make sure its possible
for it to wakeup the system), we would be burning a lot more power.
