There will be those registers too within the MMU config register space, even for DRA7xx MMUs. This is different, think of it like a register in the Control module except that it is present within the DSP sub-system instead of at the SoC level. > > Typically we handle these registers by mapping them to the PM runtime > functions for the interconnect so we can reset and idle the hardware > modules even if there is no driver, see for example > omap54xx_mmu_dsp_hwmod. I haven't yet submitted the DRA7xx hwmods, but they will look almost exactly like the OMAP5 ones. The reset and idle on these are in general not effective at boot time since these are also controlled by a hard-reset line, so that's left to the drivers to deal with it through the omap_device_deassert_hardreset API. > >>> We should use some Linux generic framework for configuring these >>> bits to avoid nasty dependencies between various hardware modules >>> on the SoC. >>> >>> What does DSP_SYS_MMU_CONFIG register do?

The DSP (remoteproc) driver uses the generic IOMMU API, and all the IOMMU enabling sequence is transparent to the DSP driver. So, any configuration/enabling sequence specific to the IOMMU has to be handled within the respective IOMMU platform driver that gets integrated into the IOMMU API. regards Suman > > >> [1] http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spruhz6/spruhz6.pdf -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
