[PATCH v4 1/2] dt-bindings: cpufreq: add virtual cpufreq device

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

 



Adding bindings to represent a virtual cpufreq device.

Virtual machines may expose MMIO regions for a virtual cpufreq device
for guests to read frequency information or to request frequency
selection. The virtual cpufreq device has an individual controller for
each frequency domain.

+description:
+  Virtual CPUFreq is a virtualized driver in guest kernels that sends frequency
+  selection of its vCPUs as a hint to the host through MMIO regions. Each vCPU
+  is associated with a frequency domain which can be shared with other vCPUs.
+  Each frequency domain has its own set of registers for frequency controls.
+
+properties:
+  compatible:
+    const: qemu,virtual-cpufreq
+
+  reg:
+    maxItems: 1
+    description:
+      Address and size of region containing frequency controls for each of the
+      frequency domains. Regions for each frequency domain is placed
+      contiugously and contain registers for controlling DVFS(Dynamic Frequency
+      and Voltage) characteristics. The size of the region is proportional to
+      total number of frequency domains.
