From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> RISC-V uses the same generic topology code as arm64 & while there currently exists no binding for cpu-capacity on RISC-V, the code paths can be hit if the property is present. Move the documentation of cpu-capacity to a shared location, ahead of defining a binding for capacity-dmips-mhz on RISC-V. Update some references to this document in the process. Signed-off-by: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- I wasn't sure what to do with reference [1], but since the property will be the same on RISC-V, I left it as is. --- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cpus.yaml | 2 +- .../devicetree/bindings/{arm => cpu}/cpu-capacity.txt | 4 ++-- Documentation/scheduler/sched-capacity.rst | 2 +- Documentation/translations/zh_CN/scheduler/sched-capacity.rst | 2 +- 4 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) rename Documentation/devicetree/bindings/{arm => cpu}/cpu-capacity.txt (98%) diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cpus.yaml b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cpus.yaml index 01b5a9c689a2..a7586295a6f5 100644 --- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cpus.yaml +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cpus.yaml @@ -257,7 +257,7 @@ properties: capacity-dmips-mhz: description: - u32 value representing CPU capacity (see ./cpu-capacity.txt) in + u32 value representing CPU capacity (see ../cpu/cpu-capacity.txt) in DMIPS/MHz, relative to highest capacity-dmips-mhz in the system. diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cpu-capacity.txt b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/cpu/cpu-capacity.txt similarity index 98% rename from Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cpu-capacity.txt rename to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/cpu/cpu-capacity.txt index cc5e190390b7..f28e1adad428 100644 --- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cpu-capacity.txt +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/cpu/cpu-capacity.txt @@ -1,12 +1,12 @@ ========================================== -ARM CPUs capacity bindings +CPU capacity bindings ========================================== ========================================== 1 - Introduction ========================================== -ARM systems may be configured to have cpus with different power/performance +Some systems may be configured to have cpus with different power/performance characteristics within the same chip.
