[PATCH 0/4] Support for STA idle mode power save(IMPS)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Rakesh Pillai <pillair@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Enable STA idle mode power save(IMPS) for WCN3990 TLV target.

In-order to support STA idle mode ps direct access to CE registers are
protected via 2 mechanism. As target can power collapse based on idle
inactivity and any target register access during that state can lead to
un-clocked access.

2) Caching SRRI/DRRI in DDR.

WN3990 has a shadow block in HW which is always on domain and allows HOST/APPS
access irrespective of power state of the target(Common subsystem(includes CE block)
might be down due to idle/inactivity).
Any operation on the shadow registers are directly reflected back in the actual
CE registers( SRWI/DRWI) once common subsystem gets up.
The shadow registers configuration is supplied via QMI message.

WC3990 has 24 shadow registers and mapping of shadow register(0-23) to CE registers(0-12)
is as following.

               -----------------------------------------------------------
               Shadow Register      |     CE   |    src/dst write index
               -----------------------------------------------------------
                              0            |     0    |           src
                              3            |     3    |           src
                              4            |     4    |           src
                              5            |     5    |           src
                              7            |     7    |           src
                              13           |     1    |           dst
                              14           |     2    |           dst
                              19           |     7    |           dst
                              20           |     8    |           dst
                              21           |     9  |             dst
                              22           |     10   |          dst
                              23          |     11    |          dst


1) Caching SRWI/SRWI in HW shadow block.

Since shadow block allows only WRITE access, for read access(SRRI/DRRI) driver allocates
region in DDR(12CE*half WORD) which is being configured in CE UPD control register.
CE SRRI/DRRI are restored and replayed on the configured region(DDR) on each update.
HOST/APPS reads SRRI/DRRI from the DDR to make the access independent of target power state.
