Adaptive Body Biasing (ABB) modulates transistor bias voltages dynamically in order to optimize switching speed versus leakage. Texas Instruments' SoC processors have an on chip LDO subsystem which is part of the SmartReflex 2 technology and provides support for this power management technique with Forward Body Biasing (FBB) and Reverse Body Biasing (RBB). These modulate the body voltage of transistor cells or blocks dynamically to gain performance and reduce leakage. This series introduces ABB regulator and associated data for controlling ABB module on OMAP3630+ TI SoCs. Usage of ABB LDO is part of SoC's OPP voltage transition sequence. We just introduce the regulator in this series for LDO control, however, the actual sequence of control of this regulator is left to the implementation of SoC OPP voltage transition of the appropriate domain. Note: We only support device tree supported boot in this series. Testing and Caveats: - Sanity tested on OMAP3,4,5 platforms - verified with omapconf. - Testing performed with regulator virtual consumer: http://pastebin.com/Knp1fSxA - OMAP5 clock nodes are introduced, but clock data is missing in upstream - tested with private tree with requisite clock nodes introduced. Clock node has been commented out in this series. V3 of this series also available (with testing patch): http link: https://github.com/nmenon/linux-2.6-playground/commits/devel/abb-regulator-v3 git link: git://github.com/nmenon/linux-2.6-playground.git branch: devel/abb-regulator-v3 Changes in V3: - Regulator is purely meant to control ABB LDO. - The "regulator chaining" for doing voltage scale for entire SoC voltage domain has been dropped. - Debugfs entries meant to expose ABB registers has been dropped as the same functionality can be achieved with readmem like omapconf application. - Re-factored regulator logic to make it simpler using the existing voltage indexing support of regulator framework. - Implemented efuse based detection strategy and provided requisite data to cover all existing OMAPs using ABB. - Depends on OMAP clock driver introduced in: http://marc.info/?t=136580758500001&r=1&w=2 V2: http://marc.info/?t=136603261400007&r=1&w=2&n=3 V1/RFC: http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=136449099409794&w=2 Andrii.Tseglytskyi (5): regulator: Introduce TI Adaptive Body Bias(ABB) on-chip LDO driver ARM: dts: OMAP36xx: Add device node for ABB ARM: dts: OMAP443x: Add device nodes for ABB ARM: dts: OMAP4460: Add device nodes for ABB ARM: dts: OMAP5: Add device nodes for ABB .../bindings/regulator/ti-abb-regulator.txt | 128 +++ arch/arm/boot/dts/omap3.dtsi | 5 + arch/arm/boot/dts/omap36xx.dtsi | 20 + arch/arm/boot/dts/omap4.dtsi | 32 + arch/arm/boot/dts/omap443x.dtsi | 26 + arch/arm/boot/dts/omap4460.dtsi | 38 + arch/arm/boot/dts/omap5.dtsi | 67 ++ drivers/regulator/Kconfig | 10 + drivers/regulator/Makefile | 1 + drivers/regulator/ti-abb-regulator.c | 912 ++++++++++++++++++++ 10 files changed, 1239 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/ti-abb-regulator.txt create mode 100644 drivers/regulator/ti-abb-regulator.c -- 1.7.9.5 -- 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
