The Tegra124 and later Tegra SoCs have a sepatate rail gating register

tegra_powergate_remove_clamping() is not sufficient for the enable

gating. Also don't refer to the powergate ID since the GPU ID makes no
sense here.

To be honest I don't see the point of this patch.
You are bloating the PMC interface by introducing another exported
function that does nothing different than what the current function
already does.
If you need a way to assert the clamp I would have expected you to
introduce a common function to do this for all power partitions.
I thought about adding an tegra_powergate_assert_clamping(), but that
doesn't make sense to all the power partitions except GPU. Note the
difference in TRM. Any suggestion for the common function?
I don't think extending the powergate API is useful at this point. We've
long had an open TODO item to replace this with a generic API. I did
some prototyping a while ago to use generic power domains for this, that
way all the details and dependencies between the partitions could be
properly modeled.
Can you take a look at my staging/powergate branch here:
https://github.com/thierryreding/linux/commits/staging/powergate
and see if you can use that instead? The idea is to completely hide the
details of power partitions from drivers and use runtime PM instead.
Also adding Peter whom I had discussed this with earlier. Can we finally
get this converted? I'd rather not keep complicating this custom API to
avoid making the conversion even more difficult.
Conceptually I fully agree that we should use runtime PM and powerdomains.
However I don't think the implementation you mentioned is correct. The resets
of all modules in a domain need to be asserted and the memory clients need to
be flushed. All this needs to be done with module clocks enabled (resets are
synchronous). Then all module clocks need to be disabled and then the
partition can be powergated. After ungating, the module resets need to be
deasserted and the FLUSH bit cleared with clocks enabled.
Yeah. I plan to have the information of all the clock client of the
partitions and
the memory clients be defined statically in c source, e.g. pmc-tegra124.c.
All modules can declare which domain they belong to in DT. One domain can
be really power gated only when no module is awake. Note the clock
clients of
one domain might not equal to the clocks of the module. The reset is
not either.
So I don't get the clock and reset from module. How do you think?
I think it's indeed better to have a direct reference to the required clocks
to powergate/ungate a domain. As you said, there is no easy way to derive the
required clocks from the DT module declarations. My suggestion would be to
have powerdomain definitions in DT and for each domain have references to
the required clocks and resets.
And specify the dependencies between domains in DT?
I think the dependencies could be in the driver. Of course the power
domains are per-SoC data, so really shouldn't be in the DTS either (the
data is all implied by the compatible value) but there's no good way to
get at the clocks and resets without DT, so I think that's a reasonable
trade-off.
It seems to me like there are only two dependencies:
DIS and DISB depend on SOR
VE depends on DIS
That's according to 5.6.6 "Programming Guide for Power Gating and
Ungating" of the Tegra K1 TRM. It also seems like a bunch of modules are
part of seemingly unrelated domains. Especially SOR seems to cover a
large range of modules (MIPI-CAL, DPAUX, SOR, HDMI, DSI, DSIB and
HDA2HDMI).
Given that we may want to more fine-grainedly control clocks to save
power, don't we need to control clocks and resets within the drivers? I
think the runtime PM framework makes sure to call this in the right
order, so for suspend, the sequence would be:
We need to control clocks and resets within the drivers. I believe the
powergate sequence is just to provide a clean hardware state. The
driver can do whatever it wants to the clocks and reset as long as
that's correct procedure.
1) device->suspend
2) domain->suspend
and for resume:
1) domain->resume
2) device->resume
But then we're back to square one, namely that the MC flush doesn't work
properly, since it needs to be implemented in domain->suspend. Does that
mean we can't clock-gate modules? In order to ensure a proper powergate
sequence, the domain code would need to clk_enable() the module clock to
make sure it stays on during the reset sequence. But if the domain code
has a reference to the clock, then the driver can't clock-gate the
module anymore by calling clk_disable().
The module can definitely flush its memory client when the driver wants
to reset the module.
e.g.
The VENC domain needs to flush swgroup ISP, ISPB, VI for domain gating.
The ISP module only needs to flush swgroup ISP when reset.
That means we have to define "nvidia,swgroup = <&pmc ISP>" for both
of the domain VENC and module ISP.
Besides that last step in the un-powergating sequence is disabling all
the module clocks. The module driver has to enable it's module clock
later if need be. So there is no clock reference problem.

Vince
