What I am doing is a powerdomain driver to communicate magic values from CPU to rpmh, looks like we need another one to communicate from CPU to GMU now :) A few things, * someone will need to map these larger magic values into something that rpmh would understand (between 0 to 15 on the sdm845), thats done by reading the command db level maps. Is this done by GMU? * are these communicated just once for every OPP at init/boot, or for every OPP switch? * whats the communication mechanism we use between CPU and GMU? regards Rajendra > > ssh://git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/people/viresh.kumar/mylinux.git opp/genpd/qcom > > Please have a talk with Rajendra who can help you understand on how this can be > used for GPUs. > -- Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. is a member of Code Aurora Forum, hosted by The Linux Foundation _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
