Hello everyone, this is the third version of the OMAP PM interface patch. Major changes since the second revision: 1. set_max_mpu_wakeup_lat() has been added. This is intended to limit the amount of time needed for the MPU to wake up and enter a device driver's interrupt handler. 2. set_max_dma_lat() has been renamed to set_max_sdma_lat() 3. omap_pm_dsp_get_opp_table() and struct omap_opp have been added for future DSPBridge/CPUFreq use. omap_pm_if_init() now takes pointers to struct omap_opp arrays that are intended to be passed in from the board-*.c files. 4. Interface documentation has been moved to the include/asm-arm/arch-omap/omap-pm.h file. 5. Documentation updated and moved into Documentation/arm/OMAP/omap_pm Further comments welcome, - Paul --------------------------------- This message proposes the third version of a power management interface (the "OMAP PM interface") for the linux-omap kernel tree. It includes a general device driver PM interface, along with some specialized interfaces for CPUFreq, DSPBridge, and the powerdomain/clockdomain code. This message focuses on the general device driver portion, since it is most relevant to the larger community of OMAP device driver developers. The interface is intended to allow drivers to take advantage of OMAP power management features: - without locking drivers into a particular underlying implementation; - without adding constraints that are specific to particular OMAP variants; and - without affecting other architectures. The device driver portion of the interface covers four types of PM constraints: 1. Set the maximum MPU wakeup latency 2. Set the maximum device wakeup latency 3. Set the maximum system DMA transfer start latency (CORE pwrdm) 4. Set the minimum bus throughput needed by a device These are described in more detail in the patch. This interface is intended to be temporary, to survive only until the Linux PM QoS layer supports these features. This interface is a collaborative product of many people from Nokia and TI: Karthik Dasu, Jouni Högander, Tony Lindgren, Rajendra Nayak, Sakari Poussa, Veeramanikandan Raju, Anand Sawant, Igor Stoppa, Paul Walmsley, and Richard Woodruff. Included in the patch is a 'no-op' implementation that documents the interface and emits debug messages. Rajendra Nayak at TI has developed an initial implementation of the OMAP PM interface that relies mostly on TI's Shared Resource Framework. Also under development is an implementation of the OMAP PM code that uses the existing Linux PM QoS code.
