Actually the problem is that OPP tables are insufficient for such cases,
and we are adding work-arounds to fix that. Though it will get fixed
with the new bindings we are adding.

I am confused on what we should be doing here. Even if you write
your own driver, you will be abusing DT with incorrect information.

Even if you go around adding a new driver, I would like you to fallback
to cpufreq-dt ones the new OPP bindings are in place.

The voltages of the two regulators need to be always under a limitation:
100mV < Vsram - Vproc < 200mV
For now, I just calculate the OPPs of Vsram from OPPs of Vproc.

Another thing I should mention, if the voltage difference of two adjacent
OPPs is greater than 100mV, we need to set the regulator to some
voltages which are not in OPP table considering the limitation above.
I think that will make it more difficult to model such flow in a generic

Hmm, probably all that can be solved with the new OPP bindings where
we can have support for multiple regulator or clock sources to the CPU.

as OPPs today only support a single regulator, in case you have to write

The voltages of the two regulators need to be always under a limitation:

For now, I just calculate the OPPs of Vsram from OPPs of Vproc.

Instead of creating virtual regulators I would be strongly in favor of
reviving the voltage-domain work. That would allow us to push all those
voltage dependencies we have seen on various SoCs into the domain
handling code and don't care about it in the drivers.

In that case cpufreq-dt wouldn't control a regulator directly, but
request a specific voltage from the domain the CPUs are located in and
those in turn would control the regulators supplying them.

On mediatek platform, they need to configure two regulators in order to change
DVFS state of the big cluster. The generic cpufreq-dt driver and earlier OPP
bindings have support for a single regulator only and so what Pi-cheng tried
to do is,
- Configure one of the regulators using cpufreq-dt
- And other one using cpufreq frequency change notifiers

This looks awkward..

What I suggested was to create another virtual regulator for CPU which will
eventually configure both the regulators. And so the question that such
virtual regulators are allowed or not.

Let's say that cpu_opp_table_get_freq_index() returns -1.  We then
do no error checking on this, and access the memory immediately
preceding opp_tbl[0].

Since we'll be loading garbage from opp_tbl[-1], this probably means
that mtk_cpufreq_voltage_trace() will go wrong.  Your method of using
the vproc values to work out which direction we should walk between
old_index...new_index means that we could end up walking through
almost the whole UINT_MAX range to wrap around to the new index.

Yet again, "return -1" proves to be a sure sign of a bug.

Okay. I will add comments to describe some details about this. About putting

Please correct me if I was wrong. IIUC, It does:
clk_get() -> __of_clk_get_by_name() -> __of_clk_get()
The "mtk-cpufreq" device tree node specified the intermediate clock source in
"clocks" property. And the pdev here came from the "mtk-cpufreq" device tree
node, so we can get the "clock specifier" by calling
of_parse_phandle_with_args()
to find "clocks" property in __of_clk_get().

Combining comments and suggestions from you and Sascha[1], I conclude some
architectural changes are going to be made in the next version:

1. Use set_rate hook instead of determine_rate in clk driver, and
switch to intermeidate
PLL parent and back to original CPU PLL parent explicitly in set_rate
2. Therefore we don't need intermediate frequency support in
cpufreq-dt to implement
cpufreq support for Mediatek SoC
3. Use clk notifier to handle voltage controlling corresponding to
intermediate clock rate
4. Due to 3. we need to move all voltage controlling part back into
the notifier in
mtk-cpufreq

Do you really think its readable enough that way? You must have added some

Its a perfectly valid statement :) and so no errors. Both will execute as they

returned. But there
in no variable on LHS (left-hand-side) and so the value doesn't matter.

 clock ?

 It works with the the device tree binding in the 2nd patch of this series, 
 too.
 Since the cpufreq node is not allowed, would you have some suggestions on
 how to get the intermediate clock source in this case?

How exactly? I am not doubting your work, just that I don't know how that DT
binding will reflect here with clock_get for pdev-dev..

 +   pd-independent_clocks = 1,

 It's strange that I didn't get a compiling error here.
 Will fix it.

Its a perfectly valid statement :) and so no errors. Both will execute as they
will in case of ';', just that output of the later one will be
returned. But there
in no variable on LHS (left-hand-side) and so the value doesn't matter.

 Don't want to free OPP table here on error ?

 Please correct me if I was wrong. Since the OPP table in the dvfs_info is
 allocated by devm_kzalloc(), it is supposed to be freed if the probe function
 failed, isn't it?

 And the OPP table initialized by of_init_opp_table() in cpu_opp_table_init()
 was freed right before the function return since it will be initialized again 
 in
 the cpufreq-dt driver.

Okay, I was talking about this only and I missed it. We probably need to fix
this in OPP library so that multiple callers are allowed.

 +   dev = platform_device_register_data(NULL, cpufreq-dt, -1, pd,
 +   sizeof(*pd));

 So this routine is going to be called only once. Then how are you
 initializing stuff
 for both the clusters in the upper for loop ? It looked very very confusing.

 Please let me clarify this here.
 We have two clusters, one for big and another for little cores. For
 the little cores'
 cluster, only one voltage source needs to be controlled when doing CPU DVFS.
 Therefore the voltage scaling of little cores' cluster is done in the
 cpufreq-dt.
 But for the big cores' cluster, there are two voltage sources here to
 be controlled
 and these two voltage source need to be scaled up and down in a SoC specific
 manner which is implemented in the mtk_cpufreq_voltage_trace() function.
 Hence, we put the voltage scaling of big cores' cluster in the cpufreq
 notifier and
 that's also why we need a mtk-cpufreq driver in addition to cpufreq-dt.

 In the confusing loop above, I am trying to solve two problems:
 1. to find out which CPUs shares the same clock / power domains among all CPUs
 2. to initialize the dvfs_info which is only needed by big cores' cluster

 I think that's why the loop looks so confusing. Maybe doing it in two
 separate loops
 will make the code more readable? I'll try it in next version.

Yes.

clk_get() - __of_clk_get_by_name() - __of_clk_get()
The mtk-cpufreq device tree node specified the intermediate clock source in
clocks property. And the pdev here came from the mtk-cpufreq device tree
node, so we can get the clock specifier by calling
of_parse_phandle_with_args()
to find clocks property in __of_clk_get().


 +   pd-independent_clocks = 1,

 s/,/; ??

 It's strange that I didn't get a compiling error here.
 Will fix it.

 Its a perfectly valid statement :) and so no errors. Both will execute as they
 will in case of ';', just that output of the later one will be
 returned. But there
 in no variable on LHS (left-hand-side) and so the value doesn't matter.

Thanks for your explanation. :)


 Don't want to free OPP table here on error ?

 Please correct me if I was wrong. Since the OPP table in the dvfs_info is
 allocated by devm_kzalloc(), it is supposed to be freed if the probe function
 failed, isn't it?

 And the OPP table initialized by of_init_opp_table() in cpu_opp_table_init()
 was freed right before the function return since it will be initialized 
 again in
 the cpufreq-dt driver.

 Okay, I was talking about this only and I missed it. We probably need to fix
 this in OPP library so that multiple callers are allowed.

 +   dev = platform_device_register_data(NULL, cpufreq-dt, -1, pd,
 +   sizeof(*pd));

 So this routine is going to be called only once. Then how are you
 initializing stuff
 for both the clusters in the upper for loop ? It looked very very confusing.

 Please let me clarify this here.
 We have two clusters, one for big and another for little cores. For
 the little cores'
 cluster, only one voltage source needs to be controlled when doing CPU DVFS.
 Therefore the voltage scaling of little cores' cluster is done in the
 cpufreq-dt.
 But for the big cores' cluster, there are two voltage sources here to
 be controlled
 and these two voltage source need to be scaled up and down in a SoC specific
 manner which is implemented in the mtk_cpufreq_voltage_trace() function.
 Hence, we put the voltage scaling of big cores' cluster in the cpufreq
 notifier and
 that's also why we need a mtk-cpufreq driver in addition to cpufreq-dt.

 In the confusing loop above, I am trying to solve two problems:
 1. to find out which CPUs shares the same clock / power domains among all 
 CPUs
 2. to initialize the dvfs_info which is only needed by big cores' cluster

 I think that's why the loop looks so confusing. Maybe doing it in two
 separate loops
 will make the code more readable? I'll try it in next version.

 Yes.

Combining comments and suggestions from you and Sascha[1], I conclude some
architectural changes are going to be made in the next version:

1. Use set_rate hook instead of determine_rate in clk driver, and
switch to intermeidate
PLL parent and back to original CPU PLL parent explicitly in set_rate
2. Therefore we don't need intermediate frequency support in
cpufreq-dt to implement
cpufreq support for Mediatek SoC
3. Use clk notifier to handle voltage controlling corresponding to
intermediate clock rate
4. Due to 3. we need to move all voltage controlling part back into
the notifier in
mtk-cpufreq (Voltage controlling for little cores' cluster is
handled in cpufreq-dt in this
version.)

And I have

There are 2 clusters, but only the big cluster need to do voltage scaling in the
notifier, since the voltage controlling is done by cpufreq-dt driver

Therefore only one dvfs_info struct here.

The probe function will be called only once since it's triggered by the device
tree node in the 2nd patch of this series. Though it's not acceptable obviously.

 On a dual cluster big LITTLE (your system), how many times is probe
 getting called ? Once or twice, i.e. for each cluster ??

The probe function will be called only once since it's triggered by the device
tree node in the 2nd patch of this series. Though it's not acceptable obviously.

 +   struct platform_device *dev;
 +   unsigned long inter_freq;
 +   int cpu, ret;
 +
 +   inter_clk = clk_get(pdev-dev, NULL);

 How is this supposed to work ? How will pdev-dev give intermediate
 clock ?

It works with the the device tree binding in the 2nd patch of this series, too.
Since the cpufreq node is not allowed, would you have some suggestions on
how to get the intermediate clock source in this case?

[PATCH v2 3/4] cpufreq: mediatek: add Mediatek cpufreq driver

2015-03-04 Thread pi-cheng.chen
In this patch, some SoC specific voltage scaling flow is implemented in the
cpufreq notifier of mtk-cpufreq driver.
