Correct.
However... I'm wondering if we shouldn't somehow follow the same
pattern
we have used for the rk3399 OPPs? We have a file for the "true"
RK3399
OPPs, then the OP1 variant and the RK3399T.
We already know there are a few variants of RK3588 with different
OPPs:
RK3588(S/S2?), RK3588J and RK3588M. I wouldn't be surprised if the
RK3582 (though this one has already one big cluster (or two big
cores)
fewer than RK3588) has different OPPs as well?
So. We have already discussed that the OPPs in that patch are valid
for
RK3588(S) but they aren't for the other variants.
Hmm. Looking at Rockchip sources [1] more closely as opposed to the
Radxa tree I've been using as the basis, it does indeed show that
RK3588J and RK3588M use a different OPP table altogether (frequencies
are similar, but voltages differ).
We currently have an RK3588J based board in the mainline tree
(rk3588-edgeble-neu6b-io.dts), so it can't be ignored. However, given
that Rockchip sources only differentiate those OPPs by SoC revision,
and that is (currently?) known for each board at dtb compile time, it
seems easier to just include two different OPP tables for RK3588(S)
vs. RK3588J - thus avoiding all the headache with opp-supported-hw.
Similar to RK3399, yes.
Will split those out and send a separate version.
Ah, you already answered my question about the existence of supported
boards with the RK3588J and RK3588M variants. :) [2] I totally agree
about splitting the OPPs into the separate .dtsi files, i.e. following
the approach already established by the RK3399.
Perhaps the new files should be named rk3588-opp.dtsi and
rk3588j-opp.dtsi,
to (almost fully) follow the already established naming scheme. Maybe
the OPP data could instead be added to the already existing
rk3588.dtsi,
rk3588s.dtsi and rk3588j.dtsi files, which would actually make more
sense
because those .dtsi files already address the specific SoC variants,
but
the approach with the separate new rk3588*-opp.dtsi files seems cleaner
from the implementation point of view, and is a bit safer.
If you see a clean way for stuffing the OPP data into the already
existing
rk3588.dtsi, rk3588s.dtsi and rk3588j.dtsi files, instead of
introducing
new rk3588*-opp.dtsi files, I'd be happy to support it.

On second thought, it makes more sense to rename and shuffle the RK3588
dtsi files a bit, to make it possible to have the OPPs already specified
when a board dts file includes the dtsi file for a RK3588 variant.
Thus,
I went ahead and prepared an RFC patch that does exactly that. [3]
Please, have a look at that RFC patch. To quote its description:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rename and modify the RK3588 dtsi files a bit, to make preparations for
the ability to specify different CPU and GPU OPPs for each of the
supported
RK3588 SoC variants, including the RK3588J.
As already discussed, some of the different RK3588 SoC variants
require different OPPs, and it makes more sense to have the OPPs already
defined when a board dts includes one of the SoC dtsi files
(rk3588.dtsi,
rk3588j.dtsi or rk3588s.dtsi), rather than requiring the board dts file
to
also include a separate rk3588*-opp.dtsi file. The choice of the SoC
variant
is already made by the inclusion of the SoC dtsi file, and it doesn't
make
much sense to, effectively, allow the board dts file to include and use
an
incompatible set of OPPs for the already selected SoC variant.
No intended functional changes are introduced. (Still to be
additionally
verified if the patch moves forward from the RFC state.)

In the downstream kernel, any OPP whose opp-supported-hw has a first
value masked by BIT(1) return non-0 is supported by RK3588M. In the
downstream kernel, any OPP whose opp-supported-hw has a first value
masked by BIT(2) return non-0 is supported by RK3588J.
This means that, for LITTLE clusters:
- opp-1608000000 not supported on RK3588J
- opp-1704000000 only supported on RK3588M (but already absent in
this
patch series)
- opp-1800000000 only supported on RK3588(S), not RK3588J nor RK3588M
For big clusters:
- opp-1800000000 not supported on RK3588J
- opp-2016000000 not supported on RK3588J
- opp-2208000000 only supported on RK3588(S), not RK3588J nor RK3588M
- opp-2256000000 only supported on RK3588(S), not RK3588J nor RK3588M
- opp-2304000000 only supported on RK3588(S), not RK3588J nor RK3588M
- opp-2352000000 only supported on RK3588(S), not RK3588J nor RK3588M
- opp-2400000000 only supported on RK3588(S), not RK3588J nor RK3588M
This is somehow also enforced in downstream kernel by removing the
OPP
nodes directly (hence, not even requiring the check of
opp-supported-hw
value), c.f.:
https://git.theobroma-systems.com/tiger-linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3588j.dtsi
https://git.theobroma-systems.com/tiger-linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3588m.dtsi
You'll not that the RK3588J also has less OPPs for the GPU and NPU
(but
those should also be masked by the opp-supported-hw value).
Same with DMC, but we don't currently have either DMC or NPU in the
mainline tree, so it sounds like something to be dealt with later :)
