[RFC PATCH v2 7/8] dt-bindings: Add bindings documentation for RISC-V idle states

Tue Mar 16 10:41:39 GMT 2021


The RISC-V CPU idle states will be described in DT under the
/cpus/idle-states DT node. This patch adds the bindings documentation
for riscv-idle-states DT nodes and idle state DT nodes under it.

+description: |+
+  RISC-V systems can manage power consumption dynamically, where HARTs
+  (or CPUs) [1] can be put in different platform specific suspend (or
+  idle) states (ranging from simple WFI, power gating, etc). The RISC-V
+  SBI [2] hart state management extension provides a standard mechanism
+  for OSes to request HART state transitions.
+
+  The platform specific suspend (or idle) states of a hart can be either
+  retentive or non-rententive in nature. A retentive suspend state will
+  preserve hart register and CSR values for all privilege modes whereas
+  a non-retentive suspend state will not preserve hart register and CSR
+  values. The suspend (or idle) state entered by executing the WFI
+  instruction is considered standard on all RISC-V systems and therefore
+  must not be listed in device tree.
+
+  The device tree binding definition for RISC-V idle states described
+  in this document is quite similar to the ARM idle states [3].
