[PATCH v4 0/3] interconnect: Support Samsung Exynos use-case

[PATCH v4 0/3] interconnect: Support Samsung Exynos use-case

[Artur Świgoń]

Previously posted as a part of a larger RFC: [1].

The Exynos SoC family relies on the devfreq driver for frequency
scaling. However, a way to programmatically enforce QoS contraints
(i.e., minimum frequency) is desired. A solution which uses the
interconnect framework to ensure QoS is currently being developed[1].

The exynos-bus hierarchy is composed of multiple buses which are probed
separately. Sometimes the DMC is even handled by a different driver.
Since the exynos-bus driver is generic and supports multiple differing
bus hierarchies, IDs for nodes (i.e. buses) are assigned dynamically. Due
to the unspecified relative probing order, every bus registers its own
interconnect provider.

Rationale for each patch in this series:
* Patch 01 (exporting of_icc_get_from_provider()) makes it easy to
  retrieve the parent node from the DT (cf. patch 05 in [1]).
* Patch 02 (allowing #interconnect-cells = <0>) allows to remove dummy
  node IDs from the DT.
* Patch 03 (allowing inter-provider node pairs) is necessary to make
  such multi-provider hierarchy work. A new approach implemented in v3
  ensures not to break any existing drivers.

---
Changes since v3 (to patches in this series):
* Improve commit messages.

[PATCH v4 2/3] interconnect: Relax requirement in of_icc_get_from_provider()

[Artur Świgoń]

This patch relaxes the condition in of_icc_get_from_provider() so that
it is no longer required to set '#interconnect-cells' to <1> in the DT,
and therefore it is not required to supply dummy node IDs in the
'interconnects' property when node IDs are dynamically generated rather
than hardcoded (statically allocated).

In case of the devfreq driver for exynos-bus, node IDs are dynamically
allocated and '#interconnect-cells' is always zero.

[PATCH v4 3/3] interconnect: Allow inter-provider pairs to be configured

[Artur Świgoń]

This patch adds support for a new boolean 'inter_set' field in struct
icc_provider. Setting it to 'true' enables calling '->set' for
inter-provider node pairs. All existing users of the interconnect
framework allocate this structure with kzalloc, and are therefore
unaffected by this change.

This makes it easier for hierarchies like exynos-bus, where every bus
is probed separately and registers a separate interconnect provider, to
model constraints between buses (or between buses and DMC, handled by
two separate drivers in case of Exynos5422).

Re: [PATCH v4 0/3] interconnect: Support Samsung Exynos use-case

[Chanwoo Choi]

Hi Artur,

I'm concerned about that make it the separate series
without use-case like exynos-bus, exynos-drm.
If this series is applied to v5.6, it doesn't make
the problem and the patches for exynos-bus/exynos-drm
will be reviewed and then merged on later kernel version.

But, if not, the interconnect, exynos-bus and exynos-drm
patches should be merged into the same kernel version,
it must require the immutable branch among interconnect,
devfreq and exynos-drm. I think that you need to consider
it between different subsystems.

Chanwoo Choi

Thanks for the feedback. Due to the fact that the RFC depends
on the proposed changes to the interconnect framework, I need
to ensure that these three patches come first.

If there is any disagreement over any of these three patches,
the rest of the RFC might need to be modified. In such case,
I will update the RFC and send the rest of v4 patches (for
exynos-bus, exynos-mixer, and probably also exynos5-dmc).

>>> The exynos-bus hierarchy is composed of multiple buses which are probed

>>> Since the exynos-bus driver is generic and supports multiple differing

>>> Rationale for each patch in this series:
>>> * Patch 01 (exporting of_icc_get_from_provider()) makes it easy to
>>>   retrieve the parent node from the DT (cf. patch 05 in [1]).
>>> * Patch 02 (allowing #interconnect-cells = <0>) allows to remove dummy
>>>   node IDs from the DT.
>>> * Patch 03 (allowing inter-provider node pairs) is necessary to make
>>>   such multi-provider hierarchy work. A new approach implemented in v3
>>>   ensures not to break any existing drivers.
