[PATCH V4 1/3] OPP: Redefine bindings to overcome shortcomings

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

 




Current OPP (Operating performance point) DT bindings are proven to be
insufficient at multiple instances.

The shortcomings we are trying to solve here:

- Getting clock sharing information between CPUs. Single shared clock vs
  independent clock per core vs shared clock per cluster.

- Support for specifying current levels along with voltages.

- Support for multiple regulators.

- Support for turbo modes.

- Other per OPP settings: transition latencies, disabled status, etc.?

- Expandability of OPPs in future.

This patch introduces new bindings "operating-points-v2" to get these problems
solved. Refer to the bindings for more details.

-* Generic OPP Interface
+Generic OPP (Operating Performance Points) Bindings
+----------------------------------------------------
 
-SoCs have a standard set of tuples consisting of frequency and
-voltage pairs that the device will support per voltage domain. These
-are called Operating Performance Points or OPPs.
+Devices work at voltage-current-frequency triplets and some implementations have
+the liberty of choosing these. These triplets are called Operating Performance
+Points aka OPPs. This document defines bindings for these OPPs applicable across
+wide range of devices. For illustration purpose, this document uses CPU as a
+device.
+
+
+* Property: operating-points-v2
+
+Devices supporting OPPs must set their "operating-points-v2" property with
+phandle to a OPP descriptor in their DT node. The OPP core will use this phandle
+to find the operating points for the device.
+
+
+* OPP Descriptor Node
+
+This describes the OPPs belonging to a device. This node can have following
+properties:
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Allow OPPs to express their compatibility. It should be:
+  "operating-points-v2".
+- OPP nodes: One or more OPP nodes describing voltage-current-frequency
+  triplets. Their name isn't significant but their phandle can be used to
+  reference an OPP.
+
+Optional properties:
+- shared-opp: Indicates that device nodes using this OPP descriptor's phandle
+  switch their DVFS state together, i.e. they share clock/voltage/current lines.
+  Missing property means devices have independent clock/voltage/current lines,
+  but they share OPP tables.
+
+
+* OPP Node
+
+This defines voltage-current-frequency triplets along with other related
+properties.
+
+Required properties:
+- opp-khz: Frequency in kHz
+
+Optional properties:
+- opp-microvolt: voltage in micro Volts. It can contain entries for multiple
+  regulators.
+
+  A single regulator's voltage is specified with an array of size one or three.
+  Single entry is for target voltage and three entries are for <target min max>
+  voltages.
+
+  Entries for multiple regulators must be present in the same order as
+  regulators are specified in device's DT node.
+
+- opp-microamp: current in micro Amperes. It can contain entries for multiple
+  regulators.
+
+  A single regulator's current is specified with an array of size one or three.
+  Single entry is for target current and three entries are for <target min max>
+  currents.
+
+  Entries for multiple regulators must be present in the same order as
+  regulators are specified in device's DT node. If few regulators don't provide
+  capability to configure current, then values for then should be marked as
+  zero.
+
+- clock-latency-ns: Specifies the maximum possible transition latency (in
+  nanoseconds) for switching to this OPP from any other OPP.
+- turbo-mode: Marks the OPP to be used only for turbo modes.
+- status: Marks the node enabled/disabled.
