[PATCH/RFC v2 00/12] ARM: shmobile: R-Mobile: Prototype DT PM domain support

Tue Sep 16 11:48:47 PDT 2014

	Hi all,

This patch series contains prototype code to enable DT support for PM domains
on Renesas R-Mobile SoCs.

Currently it's limited to R-Mobile A1 (r8a7740), but given the similarity of
the SYSC System-Controller on the various SH-Mobile/R-Mobile SoCs, and the
abstraction of PM domains in DT, it should be sufficiently generic to handle
other SoCs in the future (e.g. SH-Mobile AP4 (sh7372), SH-Mobile AG5 (sh73a0),
R-Mobile APE6 (r8a73a4)).

Changes compared to v1 (more detailed changelogs in the individual patches):
  - Several new patches: [02], [04], [05], [06], [07], [11], [12],
  - Run-Time management of the module clocks, making the hack in
    drivers/sh/pm_runtime.c obsolete for DT platforms using genpd.
    More about this below[*].
  - Addition of PM QoS device latencies, specified from DT.
  - Addition of build glue, so this builds and runs without additional
    changes, incl. s2ram.

This means that functionality-wise, the DT version is now on par with the
legacy version, so I can continue focussing on fixing the common limitations,
and the quirks in rmobile_pm_quirks() in a DT-friendly way.

Thanks for your comments!

[*] Run-Time management of the module clocks is a continuing story...

  - The hack in drivers/sh/pm_runtime.c used the pm_clk_notifier on the
    platform bus. This (a) is not compatible with genpd (and thus with SoCs
    where we want to use genpd to manage the power areas), as there can be only
    one PM domain attached to a device, and (b) affects all platform devices,
    not only the on-SoC devices we want to manage.

  - This series uses genpd to handle the module clocks. This works fine for
    R-Mobile, as it has fine-grained power areas. It does require representing
    the (documented) C5 always-on power area in DT, as now all on-SoC devices
    need a phandle to a PM domain to manage their clocks.
    For R-Car SoCs, this will be more complicated, as there are only power
    areas for CPU cores and co-processors (e.g. SH-4A and SGX), so I'll have
    to "invent" an always-on area, and put it in DT?
    While genpd is touted as the solution for complex Run-Time management of
    clocks, I feel like it's forcing a Linux-solution in DT, which should
    represent the hardware. On Renesas SoCs, the module clocks are not related
    to the power areas, but they're a property of the Clock Pulse Generator's
    Module Standby functionality, hence my earlier proposal [A] below.
