v4 cover cpufreq: qcom-fw: Add support for QCOM cpufreq FW driver

[v4]
* Fixed console messages as per comments.
* Return error from qcom_resources_init()
in the cases where failed to get frequency domain.
* Rename cpu_dev to cpu_np in qcom_resources_init, qcom_get_related_cpus(). Also use temp variable freq_np in qcom_get_related_cpus().
* Update qcom_cpufreq_fw_get() to use the policy data to incoporate the hotplug use case.
* Update code to use of fast_switching.
* Check for !c->max_cores instead of cpumask_empty in qcom_get_related_cpus().
* Update the logic of assigning 'c' to qcom_freq_domain_map[cpu].

[v3]
* Remove index check from 'qcom_cpufreq_fw_target_index'.
* Update the Documentation binding to add the platform specific properties in the CPU nodes, node name "qcom,freq-domain".
* Update return value to '0' from -ENODEV from 'qcom_cpufreq_fw_get'.
* Update the logic for boost frequency to use local variables instead of cpufreq driver data in 'qcom_read_lut'.
* Update the logic in 'qcom_get_related_cpus' to find the related cpus.
* Update the reg-names to remove "_base" and also update the binding with the description of these registers.
* Update the logic in 'qcom_resources_init' to address the new device tree notation of handling the frequency domain phandles.

[v2]
* Fixed the alignment issues in "qcom_cpufreq_fw_target_index" for dev_err and also for "qcom_cpu_resources_init".
* Removed ret = 0 from qcom_get_related_cpus and added to check for cpu_mask_empty to return -ENOENT.
* Fixes qcom_cpu_resources_init function
* Remove initialization of 'index'
* Check for valid 'c'
* Removed initialization of 'prev_cc' from 'qcom_read_lut'.
* Remove initialization of 'ret' from function qcom_resources_init and add return -ENODEV based on 'of_get_available_child_count'.
* Removed initialization of 'rc' from qcom_cpufreq_fw_driver_probe
* Removed module_exit as this driver would not be used as module, also updated the Kconfig to bool from tristate.
* Updated the subsystem in device tree bindings.

[v1]
* Fixed compilation reported by Amit K.

+Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. CPUFREQ Bindings
+
+CPUFREQ FW is a hardware engine used by some Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (QTI)
+SoCs to manage frequency in hardware. It is capable of controlling frequency
+for multiple clusters.
+
+Properties:
+- compatible
+	Usage:		required
+	Value type:	<string>
+	Definition:	must be "qcom,cpufreq-fw".
+
+* Property qcom,freq-domain
+Devices supporting freq-domain must set their "qcom,freq-domain" property with
+phandle to a freq_domain_table in their DT node.
+
+* Frequency Domain Table Node
+
+This describes the frequency domain belonging to a device.
+This node can have following properties:
+
+- reg
+	Usage:		required
+	Value type:	<prop-encoded-array>
+	Definition:	Addresses and sizes for the memory of the perf
+			, lut and enable bases.
+			perf - indicates the base address for the desired
+			performance state to be set.
+			lut - indicates the look up table base address for the
+			cpufreq	driver to read frequencies.
+			enable - indicates the enable register for firmware.
+- reg-names
+	Usage:		required
+	Value type:	<stringlist>
+	Definition:	Address names. Must be "perf", "lut", "enable".
+			Must be specified in the same order as the reg property.
+
+Example:
+
+Example 1: Dual-cluster, Quad-core per cluster. CPUs within a cluster switch
+DCVS state together.

You still didn't answer my earlier question.

OS might touch one or 2 registers in lots of IP blocks. I am not sure why those are any different from these. Are you trying to align with any other bindings or specification. Are you trying to make this binding generic here ? I understand if it was trying to generalize the firmware interface, but you also state it's a hardware engine. So I fail to see the need for such specificity here. Why not define the whole IP block and the driver knows where to access these specific ones as they are specific to this hardware block. In that way if you decide to add more data, it's extensible easily without the need for patching DT.

Eg. Suppose you need some information on power curve for EAS energy model, I really hate to update DT for that or even do a mix with DT just because f/w is no longer modifiable.

Sorry Sudeep I missed replying to your earlier query.
The High level OS(HLOS) would require to access only these specific registers from this IP block and just mapping the whole block(huge region) is unnecessary from the OS point of View. As of now it is a generic binding for all using this IP block to manage frequency requests. The OS would only have to know the frequencies supported i.e to read the lookup table registers and put across the OS request using the performance state register.

Yes I did guess that initially, but I failed to understand when different bindings were posted to deal with devfreq and cpufreq with the same firmware. Ideally if it's the firmware you are talking to, place all these under /firmware node and align all those with single binding.

Is there anything else that this firmware deals with ? If so all those need to be put in one place.

I am not sure if you need to defining bindings to save OSPM IO mapping. In-fact you may be adding more mapping unnecessarily. The mappings are page aligned and spiting the registers and mapping them individually may result in more mappings.

I just need to know the rational for such specific choice of registers. I assume it's aligned to some other standard specifications like CPPC though not identical.

The OS is not aware of the firmware and OS only knows about the hardware engine and has to put forward it's request to the hardware engine using the "Perf" state register in both devfreq & cpufreq. So would it be still required to put under the /firmware node?

Sorry Sudeep I missed replying to your earlier query.
The High level OS(HLOS) would require to access only these specific registers from this IP block and just mapping the whole block(huge region) is unnecessary from the OS point of View. As of now it is a generic binding for all using this IP block to manage frequency requests. The OS would only have to know the frequencies supported i.e to read the lookup table registers and put across the OS request using the performance state register.

Quoted 9 lines

I am not sure if you need to defining bindings to save OSPM IO mapping. In-fact you may be adding more mapping unnecessarily. The mappings are page aligned and spiting the registers and mapping them individually may result in more mappings.

I just need to know the rational for such specific choice of registers. I assume it's aligned to some other standard specifications like CPPC though not identical.

I am not sure of the query but there is no other register that the OS is required to use other than the ones defined here.

Eg. Suppose you need some information on power curve for EAS energy model, I really hate to update DT for that or even do a mix with DT just because f/w is no longer modifiable.

For now we are safe.

What do you mean by that ?

I meant here was currently there is no such known case where the f/w is no longer modifiable and we need to extend device tree bindings.

It should be easily extensible is what I am
trying to say. You can add more info and alter the information in the driver with compatibles if you keep the register info as minimum as possible. For now, you have enable, set and lut registers. What if you want to provide power numbers ?

Yes I do understand the intent of mapping the whole register space, but as per the HW specs these 3 registers would be the only ones required for now. I do not think this hardware engine has any information on the power numbers.

"For now" - I think this is exactly the point that Sudeep is trying to make.

A future version of the HW engine, or more likely, a firmware revision, will make more functionality available. Say, this needs access to another register or two. This will require changing the DT bindings. Instead, if you map the entire address space, you can just add offsets to the new registers.

So in this case, I think you should define the following addresses (size 0x1400) for the two frequency domains

0x17d43000, 0x1400 (power cluster)
0x17d45800, 0x1400 (perf cluster)

And in the driver simply add offsets as follows:

#define ENABLE_OFFSET 0x0
#define LUT_OFFSET 0x110
#define PERF_DESIRED_OFFSET 0x920

This will allow you add any new registers in the future w/o modifying the DT binding and reduce qcom_cpu_resources_init() to a handful of lines since you no longer need so many OF string matches, and devm_ioremap()s.

Amit

If that is a known fact internally, you should already introduce versioning information in the DT. e.g qcom,cpufreq-fw-v1. This will give you the ability to deal with IP versions across SoC families.

We're currently trying to do the same thing for the TSENS IP.

Just get compatibles to identify the version of the hardware if it can't be probed and detected. Please don't use DT to get the addresses of each register you use in the driver. That's neither scalable nor nice solution to the problem.

Hello Sudeep and Amit,

Thanks for the comments, I am consolidating the understanding from the other emails in a single one.

I understand that you are looking for this IP to map the full region and define offsets according to access them.

But I still not sure how do you want this common driver to scale in the cases where the offsets could vary across version change.

DT
====
freq-node {
reg = < X x_size>; Where X is the start of the IP address.
}

Driver code (The below representation is just for example).
=============

V1
#define ENABLE 0x0
#define LUT_V1 0x110
#define PERF_V1 0x920

V2
#define LUT_V2 0x150
#define PERF_V2 0x980

V3
#define LUT_V3 0x120
....

Do you want me to use "compatible" flag to

if (compatible == v1)
enable = readl_relaxed(X + LUT_V1);
else if (compatible == v2)
enable = readl_relaxed(X + LUT_V2);
else if (compatible == v3)
enable = readl_relaxed(X + LUT_V2);

With the current design I do not need such compatible checks and unmap the ones which are not required after probe. Please let me know your comments.

You can have fields in a struct somewhere like enable_offset, which you can fill based on compatible string only once during probe and then the rest of the code would just do:

enable = readl_relaxed(X + struct->enable_offset);

You are bit inconsistent on the wordings. Some places you refer this as hardware engine. If so, please drop all references to firmware/FW. If it's firmware then update accordingly.

It is a hardware engine which has a firmware to take care of the managing the frequency request from OS. That is reason to refer it as a firmware.

Quoted 5 lines

Yes I did guess that initially, but I failed to understand when different bindings were posted to deal with devfreq and cpufreq with the same firmware. Ideally if it's the firmware you are talking to, place all these under /firmware node and align all those with single binding.

Quoted 5 lines

The OS is not aware of the firmware and OS only knows about the hardware engine and has to put forward it's request to the hardware engine using the "Perf" state register in both devfreq & cpufreq. So would it be still required to put under the /firmware node?

Ah ok, then remove any references to firmware other than stating its presence in the introduction. E.g. you have "Add cpufreq firmware device bindings ...". So this is definitely not firmware binding. You are just presenting the h/w as is and you need to deal with change of firmware in DT and OS agnostic way.

OS might touch one or 2 registers in lots of IP blocks. I am not sure why those are any different from these. Are you trying to align with any
other bindings or specification. Are you trying to make this binding generic here ? I understand if it was trying to generalize the firmware interface, but you also state it's a hardware engine. So I fail to see the need for such specificity here. Why not define the whole IP block and the driver knows where to access these specific ones as they are specific to this hardware block. In that way if you decide to add more data, it's extensible easily without the need for patching DT.

Quoted 9 lines

Sorry Sudeep I missed replying to your earlier query.
The High level OS(HLOS) would require to access only these specific registers from this IP block and just mapping the whole block(huge region) is unnecessary from the OS point of View. As of now it is a generic binding for all using this IP block to manage frequency requests. The OS would only have to know the frequencies supported i.e to read the lookup table registers and put across the OS request using the performance state register.

I am not sure if you need to defining bindings to save OSPM IO mapping. In-fact you may be adding more mapping unnecessarily. The mappings are page aligned and spiting the registers and mapping them individually may result in more mappings.

I just need to know the rational for such specific choice of registers. I assume it's aligned to some other standard specifications like CPPC though not identical.

I am not sure of the query but there is no other register that the OS is required to use other than the ones defined here.

The point is ever IP on the SoC may have 100s to 1000s of registers that may or may not be used by OS. That's about to the OS to decide and you just need to provide the hardware view to anyone using the device tree. It *should not* _just_ represent what you think OS(Linux in particular) "for now"

Eg. Suppose you need some information on power curve for EAS energy model, I really hate to update DT for that or even do a mix with DT just
because f/w is no longer modifiable.

For now we are safe.

I meant here was currently there is no such known case where the f/w is no longer modifiable and we need to extend device tree bindings.

You are bit inconsistent on the wordings. Some places you refer this as hardware engine. If so, please drop all references to firmware/FW. If it's firmware then update accordingly.

It is a hardware engine which has a firmware to take care of the managing the frequency request from OS. That is reason to refer it as a firmware.

Quoted 5 lines

Yes I did guess that initially, but I failed to understand when different bindings were posted to deal with devfreq and cpufreq with the same firmware. Ideally if it's the firmware you are talking to, place all these under /firmware node and align all those with single binding.

Quoted 5 lines

The OS is not aware of the firmware and OS only knows about the hardware engine and has to put forward it's request to the hardware engine using the "Perf" state register in both devfreq & cpufreq. So would it be still required to put under the /firmware node?

Quoted 6 lines

Ah ok, then remove any references to firmware other than stating its presence in the introduction. E.g. you have "Add cpufreq firmware device bindings ...". So this is definitely not firmware binding. You are just presenting the h/w as is and you need to deal with change of firmware in DT and OS agnostic way.

Sure Sudeep, I will update the references of firmware.

This still looks wrong. You have removed the for-each-cpu loop here, so what will happen now is that you will allocate a different "struct cpufreq_qcom" for every CPU, even if they are related. Is that what you should be doing ? I think there should still be a single copy of that structure which must be used by all related CPUs.

#24 lore raw

Please help review of the new series[v5] which takes care of the below.

- Remove mapping different register regions of perf/lut/enable, instead map the entire HW region.
- Add reg_offset/cpufreq_qcom_std_offsets to be supplied as device data.
- Check of src == 0 during lut read.
- Add of_node_put(cpu_np) in qcom_get_related_cpus
- Update the qcom_cpu_resources_init for register offset data, and cleanup the related cpus to keep a single copy of CPUfreq.
- Replace FW with HW, update Kconfig, rename filename qcom-cpufreq-hw.c

Hi,

The CPUfreq FW present in some QCOM chipsets offloads the steps necessary for changing the frequency of CPUs. The driver implements the cpufreq driver interface for this firmware.
