Add power domain drivers based on generic power domain for
Rockchip platform, and support RK3288.
Verified on url =
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel.
At the moment,there are mass of products are using the driver.
I believe the driver can happy work for next kernel.
I've taken a look at the driver and here are some global remarks:
(1) You provide dt-bindings/power-domain/rk3288.h in patch 3. This breaks
bisectability, as the driver itself in patch 2 also includes the header and
would thus fail to compile if the later patch 3 is missing.
Ideally I think the header addition should be a separate patch itself, so that
we can possibly share it between driver and dts branches.
So 1: binding doc, 2: binding-header, 3: driver, 4: dts-changes.
OK, done.
(2) The dts-changes in patch 3 should also add any necessary power-domain
assignment on devices if they're still missing, so that we don't introduce
regressions. In my case my work-in-progress edp died because the powerdomain
was turned off automatically it seems.
OK, I will list that devices.
At the moment, I don't find the EDP driver for rockchip. (I think the
EDP driver hasn't a upstream).
Anyway, I will test it on
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/chromeos-3.14,
Meanwhile work on next-kernel.
(3) more like wondering @Kevin or so, is there some more generic place for a
power-domain driver nowadays?
I think the preference has been to put these under drivers/soc/<vendor> for now,
so they can shared across arm32 and arm64.
Interesting. Do you want to put the domain driver into /driver/soc/rockchip?
I guess the efuse driver ...is also do that.
Perhaps, it's a good select in the future.
(4) As Tomasz remarked previously the dts should represent the hardware and
the power-domains are part of the pmu. There is a recent addition from Linus
Walleij, called simple-mfd [a] that is supposed to get added real early for
kernel 4.2. So I'd think the power-domains should use that and the patchset
modified to include the changes shown below [b]?
(5) Keven Hilman and Tomasz had reservations about all the device clocks
being listed in the power-domains itself in the previous versions. I don't see
a comment from them yet changing that view.
Correct.
How about this patch?
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/5145241/
I will do that.
Maybe, do you have more suggestions?
Their wish was to get the clocks by reading the clocks from the device nodes,
though I see a problem on how to handle devices that do not have any bindings
at all yet.
Kevin, Tomasz any new thoughts?
I don't see any issues with devices that don't have bindings, as all
that would be needed would be to simple device nodes with a clock
property. I wouldn't even matter if those devices had device drivers.
Kevin
