msm8974 has gcc and mmcc nodes, and apq8084 has a gcc node which
implement gdsc powerdomains. Add the #power-domain-cells property
to them.

So the PM domain will be apart of the clock-controller. That's a bit
odd, but I guess the hardware is like that!?


Yes, the gdscs are all part of GCC controller.


Anyway, what I fail to understand from this patchset is who will be
the actual consumer of the PM domain? In other words, what devices
will hold the below property in its DT node?

power_domains = <phandle index>;

This is needed for genpd to have the device at probe time, attached to
its PM domain.


Any device which belongs to the collapsible power domain (gdsc)
Examples are graphics, camera, video encode/decode block (venus) etc

Then I expect those drivers to deploy runtime PM (if not already) and
thus gdsc's PM domain will come into play.

Most of these drivers aren;t upstream yet. And one of the reasons I am
trying to get gdsc support upstream is so these drivers can then be
pushed upstream, with runtime support.


But how will that relate to the GCC controller?

For example when the gdsc's PM domain is about to be powered off,
since all the devices within it has be runtime PM suspended. What
happens with the GCC controller then?

I don;t seem to completely understand what you are asking. Are you
asking if the GCC controller itself is part of a collapsible power
domain?


Kind regards
Uffe
