Subject: [PATCH v4 0/4] Introduce "opp-microwatt" and Energy Model from DT

Hi all,

This patch set solves a few issues:
1. It allows to register EM from DT, when the voltage information is not
available. (Some background of the issues present on Chromebook devices
can be checked at [1].)
2. It allows to register 'advanced' EM from the DT, which is more accurate
and reflects total power (dynamic + static).

Implementation details:
Existing machinery in the OPP framework now handles "opp-microwatt", similarly
to "opp-microamp". It also has helper exported function to get power from OPP.
For the EM, it adds a new callback in OPP framework to use this new API and
read power while having an opp pointer. It's agreed to work with OPP-v2.

Comments, suggestions are very welcome.

changelog:
v4:
- changed calculation of power, summing add all supliers power for an opp
- added opp debugfs for u_watt
- added patternProperties in dt-bindings for this new opp-microwatt
- changed the EM opp registration flow and used one EM api registration call
- changed name of _get_opp_power() to _get_dt_power()
- removed 'advanced' word from the new paragraph and content in EM doc changes
v3 [2]

Subject: [PATCH v4 4/4] Documentation: EM: Describe new registration method using DT

The new registration method allows to get power values from the DT OPP
definition. The new OPP entry property "opp-microwatt" contains total
power expressed in micro-Watts. Align the EM documentation with this
new possible registration method of EM.

Apart from one minor things, the patchset looks fine now. Thanks for

Subject: [PATCH v4 3/4] OPP: Add support of "opp-microwatt" for advanced EM registration

The Energy Model (EM) can be created based on DT entry:
'dynamic-power-coefficient'. It's a 'simple' EM which is limited to the
dynamic power. It has to fit into the math formula which requires also
information about voltage. Some of the platforms don't expose voltage
information, thus it's not possible to use EM registration using DT.

This patch aims to fix it. It introduces new implementation of the EM
registration callback. The new mechanism relies on the new OPP feature
allowing to get power (which is coming from "opp-microwatt" DT property)
expressed in micro-Watts.

The patch also opens new opportunity to better support platforms, which
have a decent static power. It allows to register 'advanced' EM (based
on real power measurements) which models total power (static + dynamic),
so better reflects real HW.

Unfortunately, not for this case. When we declare that em_cb
it can handle the brackets '{ }', but not later in the code no.
In both configs it won't fly:

If you like, I can introduce new dual-macro implementation
in energy_modle.h which would sole this issue:

ifdef EM:
#define EM_SET_ACTIVE_POWER_CB(em_cb, cb) ((em_cb).active_power = cb)

ifndef EM:
#define EM_SET_ACTIVE_POWER_CB(em_cb, cb) do { } while (0)


Then we would keep the single call to the registration EM and
we would have:

if (_of_has_opp_microwatt_property(dev)) {
EM_SET_ACTIVE_POWER_CB(em_cb, _get_dt_power);
goto register_em;
}



EM_SET_ACTIVE_POWER_CB(em_cb, _get_power);

register_em:
ret = em_dev_register_perf_domain(dev, nr_opp, &em_cb, cpus, true);


I can do that, please let me know.

You can also do (to fix the warning) this instead:

em_cb = EM_DATA_CB(_get_dt_power);

Similar for the else part.

You're right, here these words sneak in. I'm going to resent this patch
because it has this reported build issue for !EM. I'll update the words
there as well.

BTW, for the build fix, I'm going for the v3 approach:

------------8<--------------
if (_of_has_opp_microwatt_property(dev)) {
struct em_data_callback em_cb_dt =
EM_DATA_CB(_get_dt_power);

return em_dev_register_perf_domain(dev, nr_opp, &em_cb_dt,
cpus, true);
}

----------->8---------------

I don't want to introduce another dual-macro mechanism, since
the type em_data_callback is not defined in !EM.

I hope you are OK with this approach, if not please let me know.
