The following patch: Author: Kalle Jokiniemi <ext-kalle.jokiniemi@xxxxxxxxx> 2008-08-26 02:56:02 Committer: Kevin Hilman <khilman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 2009-03-25 10:11:41 OMAP: PM: sysfs interface for enabling voltage off in idle This patch creates a sysfs interface (/sys/power/voltage_off_while_idle) to set or clear a variable which can be used in determining wether voltage regulators should be shut down in idle. Signed-off-by: Kalle Jokiniemi <ext-kalle.jokiniemi@xxxxxxxxx> Modifies the PM_VOLTCTRL register of the omap3. It sets AUTO_SLEEP by default, sets AUTO_OFF when powering off the CORE domain, and sets SEL_OFF based on the voltage_off_while_idle sysfs file. Several bits are incomplete. 1.12.5.1.4 PRM_VOLTCTRL (Voltage Source Control Register) This register allows control of the power IC. The following are the register bit fields: • AUTO_SLEEP: Automatically sends the sleep command when the voltage domain is in the appropriate standby mode • AUTO_RET: Automatically sends the retention command when the voltage domain is in the appropriate standby mode • AUTO_OFF: Automatically sends the off command when the voltage domain is in the appropriate standby mode • SEL_OFF: Controls whether the off command is sent through the voltage controller I2C interface or the signal sys_off_mode is asserted when entering off mode • SEL_VMODE: Allows control of the power IC through either the voltage controller I2C interface or the VMODE interface The voltage_off_while idle flag thus does not do what it says it does. It merely selects the action by which the AUTO_OFF functionality works. The patch does set AUTO_OFF to true when sleeping if the core domain is to be shut off, so in that sense it works. However, on my platform (Beagleboard), the regulators for VDD1 and/or VDD2 do not shut off with SEL_OFF=1 or SEL_OFF=0 (further investigation required). The AUTO_SLEEP flag has been removed by e1c76c42 in order to reduce C state latency: Author: Peter 'p2' De Schrijver <peter.de-schrijver@xxxxxxxxx> 2009-01-14 09:32:35 Committer: Kevin Hilman <khilman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 2009-03-25 10:13:25 OMAP3: PM: Don't scale voltage in C1 state This patch prevents VDD1 and VDD2 to go to the lowest OPP when entering C1. It improves wakeup latency from 600us to about 50us.
