Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] Exynos5 DMC interrupt mode

Hi all,

This is a v3 patch set for the Exynos5 Dynamic Memory Controller
driver which could be found in Krzysztof's for-next branch [1].

It adds interrupt mode which does not relay on devfreq polling.
Instead of checking the device state by the framework, driver uses local
performance event counters which could trigger interrupt when overflow.
Thanks to this approach the driver avoids issues present in devfreq framework,
when default polling check does not occur.
The algorithm calculates 'busy_time' and 'total_time' needed for devfreq
governors (simple_ondemand) based on requests transactions traffic.

Changes:
v3:
- added information in bindings about interrupt names, since the code is
sensitive for it as pointed out by Krzysztof
v2:
changes suggested by Krzysztof
- added interrupt line for the channel 1
- added description for bindings with interrupt lines
- fixed fallback path in probe function
- added comments, blank lines, removed unneeded dev_dbg() in irq handler

Regards,
Lukasz Luba

Subject: [PATCH v3 4/4] memory: samsung: exynos5422-dmc: Add support for interrupt from performance counters

Introduce a new interrupt driven mechanism for managing speed of the
memory controller. The interrupts are generated due to performance
counters overflow. The performance counters might track memory reads,
writes, transfers, page misses, etc. In the basic algorithm tracking
read transfers and calculating memory pressure should be enough to
skip polling mode in devfreq.

Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] ARM: dts: exynos: map 0x10000 SFR instead of 0x100 in DMC Exynos5422

There is a need to access registers at address offset near 0x10000.
These registers are private DMC performance counters, which might be used
as interrupt trigger when overflow. Potential usage is to skip polling
in devfreq framework and switch to interrupt managed bandwidth control.
