[PATCH RFC 0/7] Add devfreq based clock scaling support for mmc

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

 



This change adds the use of devfreq based clock scaling to MMC.
Both eMMC and SD card can use it.
For some workloads, such as video playback, it isn't necessary
for these cards to run at high speed. Running at lower frequency,
in such cases can still meet the deadlines for data transfers.
Scaling down the clock frequency dynamically has power savings
not only because the bus is running at lower frequency but also
has an advantage of scaling down the system core voltage, if supported.
Provide an ondemand clock scaling support similar to the cpufreq
ondemand governor having two thresholds, up_threshold and
down_threshold to decide whether to increase the frequency or
scale it down respectively as per load.
