Hi all,
I will be taking over this series from Cristian and in doing so I have
addressed a couple of issues raised by the first version and added two
additional patches since Cristian's original series:
[6/9] exposes the measurement averaging interval (MAI) value when the
agent has registered to receive power measurement change notifications
for the power capping domain.
[9/9] adds MAI get and set support for the powercap protocol.
The original series was based on v6.17-rc1 whereas this version has been
based on v7.0-rc1.
The rest of Cristian's series is explained below;
SCMIv4.0 [1] introduces some new features and commands into the Powercap
protocol. In a nutshell, such protocol changes add support for:
- setting multiple powercap limit/interval constraints for each SCMI
powercap domain which supports multiple Concurrent Power Limit
- enabling more Powercap commands to use Fastchannels mechanism
- adding multiple constraints support to the existing notifications
After a bit of needed updates in the SCMI core this series adds:
- support for the idea of optional multiple Concurrent Power Limit (CPLs)
- support for the new FCs
- support for extended notifications
- enable usage of such multiple constraint in the ARM SCMI Powercap driver
Note that the public SCMIv4.0 spec at [1] is currently still BETA0, so
this series could anyway need some minor rework along the way and
definitely will need to wait for a final public release before being
possibly merged.
Tested in a mocked setup implementing the new protocol extensions.
Based on v7.0-rc1.
Thanks,
Phil
