Hi Angelo,
Thanks for the review,

No, that's not good. Like that, the GPU VSRAM will be subject to current leakage.
Remove the regulator-always-on property.
The right way of doing that is to add the vgpu to the mfg0's domain supply and
vsram to mfg1; that way all of the GPU regulators will be off at PM suspend time.
Thanks for pointing this out, I'll send v2 to fix this.

I'm okay with this constraint but are you sure that MTK-SVS won't go any lower
than 0.546V?
I'll see if I could confirm the maximum voltage drop that may be lowered by mtk-svs
for MT8395. There are 3 constraints that I am aware of:
- capability of Vgpu buck: 0.3V-1.193V
- sign-off voltage of the EVK board: 0.6V to 1.2V
- recommended operating voltage of MT8395 DVDD_GPU: 0.546V to 0.787V
For the device tree of the board, would you recommend set the regulator voltage
constraints in narrower range (because it's safer to keep in recommended operating
conditions), or in a wider range (leaving the check to driver software for
potential power saving?)
The range should match the target device's Vin constraints; in this case, it
should be no lower than the minimum working voltage of the Vgpu-in of the Mali IP.
The drivers will be responsible of setting the lowest possible voltage for
enhanced efficiency (power saving), taking into account the fused chip quality bits
(in this case, the MediaTek SVS driver!).
You should, at this point, check the constraints of SVS, as in, given a reference
voltage (in this case, located in the GPU OPP table, the voltage associated with
the lowest frequency of the GPU), what is the maximum voltage *subtraction* that
SVS will do on the VGPU?
After the subtraction, may this voltage be lower than 0.546V? :-)
Cheers,
Angelo
Thanks
