Hi all,
Recent R-Car Gen3 SoCs added an External Request Mask Register to the
System Controller (SYSC). This register allows to mask external power
requests for CPU or 3DG domains, to prevent conflicts between powering
off CPU cores or the 3D Graphics Engine, and changing the state of
another power domain through SYSC, which could lead to CPG state machine
lock-ups.
This patch series starts making use of this register. Note that the
register is optional, and that its location and contents are
SoC-specific.
This was inspired by a patch in the BSP by Dien Pham
<dien.pham.ry@xxxxxxxxxxx>.
Note that the issue fixed cannot happen in the upstream kernel, as
upstream has no support for graphics acceleration yet. SoCs lacking the
External Request Mask Register may need a different mitigation in the
future.
Changes compared to v1[1]:
- Improve description of cover letter and first patch.
Changes compared to RFC[2]:
- Rebased.
This has been boot-tested on R-Car H3 ES1.0, H3 ES2.0, M3-W ES1.0, M3-N,
V3M, and E3 (only the last 3 have this register!), and regression-tested
on R-Car Gen2.
This has not been tested on R-Car H3 ES3.0, M3-W ES2.0, and V3H.
For your convenience, this series is available in the
topic/rcar3-sysc-extmask-v2 branch of my renesas-drivers git repository at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geert/renesas-drivers.git.
Thanks for your comments!
