Hi, These patches add support for reading a shared memory database in the newer QCOM SoCs called Command DB. With the new architecture on SDM845, shared resources like clocks, regulators etc have dynamic properties. These properties may change based on external components, board configurations or available feature set. A remote processor detects these parameters and fills up the database with the resource and available state information. Platform drivers that need these shared resources will need to query this database to get the address and properties and vote for the state. The information in the database is static. The database is read-only memory location that is availble for Linux. A pre-defined string is used as a key into an entry in the database. Generally, platform drivers query the database only at init to get the information they need.
