The TPMI (Topology Aware Register and PM Capsule Interface) provides a flexible, extendable and PCIe enumerable MMIO interface for PM features. For example Intel Speed Select Technology (Intel SST) can replace all mailbox commands with direct MMIO access. This reduces latency for SST commands and also defines an architectural interface which will persist for several next generations. Also Intel RAPL (Running Average Power Limit) provides a MMIO interface using TPMI. This has advantage over traditional MSR (Model Specific Register) interface, where a thread needs to be scheduled on the target CPU to read or write. Also the RAPL features vary between CPU models, and hence lot of model specific code. Here TPMI provides an architectural interface by providing hierarchical tables and fields, which will not need any model specific implementation. Same value is for Intel Uncore frequency where MSR interface can't be used because of multiple domains. The TPMI interface uses a PCI VSEC structure to expose the location of MMIO region, which is handled by Intel VSEC driver. Intel VSEC driver is already present in upstream kernel. This series contains the base driver, which parses TPMI MMIO region and creates device nodes for supported features. The current set of PM feature support includes, Intel Speed Select, RAPL, Uncore frequency scaling. The first there patches updates Intel VSEC driver to add TPMI VSEC ID and enhance to reuse the code. The next three patches adds TPMI base driver support. The last patch adds MAINTAINERS entry. The TPMI documentation can be downloaded from: https://github.com/intel/tpmi_power_management This series cleanly applies on 6.2-rc1.
