[PATCH v5 6/8] drivers: cpuidle: initialize big.LITTLE driver through DT

Wed Jun 25 07:10:19 PDT 2014


With the introduction of DT based idle states, CPUidle drivers for ARM
can now initialize idle states data through properties in the device tree.

This patch adds code to the big.LITTLE CPUidle driver to dynamically
initialize idle states data through the updated device tree source file.

+idle-states node
+----------------
+
+On Versatile Express platforms with power management capabilities, the device
+tree source file must contain the idle-states node[1]. As defined in [1] the
+idle-states node must contain an entry-method property that for Versatile
+Express platforms can be one of:
+
+	- "arm,vexpress-v2p-ca15_a7"
+
+Versatile Express idle-states nodes example:
+
+	idle-states {
+		entry-method = "arm,vexpress-v2p-ca15_a7";
+
+		cluster-sleep-0 {
+			compatible = "arm,idle-state";
+			entry-latency-us = <1000>;
+			exit-latency-us = <700>;
+			min-residency-us = <3500>;
+		};
+	};
