[PATCH V2] cpufreq: ARM big LITTLE: Add generic cpufreq driver and its DT glue

Tue Mar 26 05:51:56 EDT 2013


big LITTLE is ARM's new Architecture focussing power/performance needs of modern
world. More information about big LITTLE can be found here:

http://www.arm.com/products/processors/technologies/biglittleprocessing.php
http://lwn.net/Articles/481055/

In order to keep cpufreq support for all big LITTLE platforms simple/generic,
this patch tries to add a generic cpufreq driver layer for all big LITTLE
platforms.

The driver is divided into two parts:
- Core driver: Generic and shared across all big LITTLE SoC's
- Glue drivers: Per platform drivers providing ops to the core driver

This patch adds in a generic glue driver which would extract information from
Device Tree.

Future SoC's can either reuse the DT glue or write their own depending on the
need.

V1->V2:
- It was reviewed here earlier: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/4/614
- It supports OPP library now and doesn't create a new binding for cpufreq table
- It doesn't add any dependency on cluster node in DT, rather we work with
  existing cpu nodes, Documentation updated.
- cpu_dev used because of OPP library and hence dev_err/dbg/info used at
  multiple places.
- Interface with glue driver updated a bit
- IS_ERR_OR_NULL replaced with IS_ERR for clk_get
- clk_get_sys used instead of clk_get and name of clk is also updated
- Few more minor cleanups done.

It is pushed here:

+Generic ARM big LITTLE cpufreq driver's DT glue
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+This is DT specific glue layer for generic cpufreq driver for big LITTLE
+systems.
+
+Both required and optional properties listed below must be defined
+under node /cpus/cpu at x. Where x is the first cpu inside a cluster.
+
+NOTE: Cpus should boot in the order specified in DT and all cpus for a cluster
+must be present contiguously. Generic DT driver will check only node 'x' for
+cpu:x.
+
+Required properties:
+- operating-points: Refer to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/opp.txt
+  for details
+
+Optional properties:
+- clock-latency: Specify the possible maximum transition latency for clock,
+  in unit of nanoseconds.
+
+Examples:
+
+cpus {
+	#address-cells = <1>;
+	#size-cells = <0>;
+
+	cpu at 0 {
+		compatible = "arm,cortex-a15";
+		reg = <0>;
+		next-level-cache = <&L2>;
+		operating-points = <
+			/* kHz    uV */
+			792000  1100000
+			396000  950000
+			198000  850000
+		>;
+		clock-latency = <61036>; /* two CLK32 periods */
+	};
+
+	cpu at 1 {
+		compatible = "arm,cortex-a15";
+		reg = <1>;
+		next-level-cache = <&L2>;
+	};
+
+	cpu at 100 {
+		compatible = "arm,cortex-a7";
+		reg = <100>;
+		next-level-cache = <&L2>;
+		operating-points = <
+			/* kHz    uV */
+			792000  950000
+			396000  750000
+			198000  450000
+		>;
+		clock-latency = <61036>; /* two CLK32 periods */
+	};
+
+	cpu at 101 {
+		compatible = "arm,cortex-a7";
+		reg = <101>;
+		next-level-cache = <&L2>;
+	};
+};
