Subject: [PATCH] devfreq: Register devfreq as a cooling device

Currently the default behavior is to manually having the devfreq
backend to register themselves as a devfreq cooling device.

There are no so many and actually it makes more sense to register the
devfreq device when adding it.

Consequently, every devfreq becomes a cooling device like cpufreq is.

Having a devfreq being registered as a cooling device can not mitigate
a thermal zone if it is not bound to this one. Thus, the current
configurations are not impacted by this change.

There are also different type of devices, which register into devfreq
framework like NoC buses, UFS/eMMC, jpeg and video accelerators, ISP,
etc.
In some platforms there are plenty of those devices and they all would
occupy memory due to private freq_table in devfreq_cooling, function:
devfreq_cooling_gen_tables().

IIRC in OdroidXU4 there are ~20 devfreq devs for NoC buses.

It's true that they will not affect thermal zones, but unnecessarily,
they all will show up in the /sys/class/thermal/ as
thermal-devfreq-X.

IMO the devfreq shouldn't be tight with devfreq cooling thermal.

CpuFreq is different because it handles only CPUs. Here we have
many different devices.

Hi Daniel,

As Lukasz's comment, actually some devfreq devices like memory bus
might not affect the thermal critically. In the mainline,
there are four types devfreq as following:
1. GPU
2. UFS Storage
3. DMC (Memory Controller)
4. Memory bus like AMBA AXI

I think that you can specify this devfreq device will be used
for cooling device by editing the devfreq_dev_profile structure.

I'm curious, do you have a pointer to such kernels having all those
devfreq ?

The energy model is tied with a cooling device initialization.

So if we want to do power limitation, the energy model must be
initialized with the device, thus the cooling device also.

That is the reason why I'm ending up with this change. Chanwoo
suggestion makes sense and that will allow to move the initialization to
devfreq which is more sane but it does not solve the initial problem
with the energy model.

Sure, it's mainline code, you can build it with exynos_defconfig.
You can check the DT files to find them arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos*.
(this particular OdroidXU4 is Exynos5422, but it grabs some generic dt
files).

Here is the mainline kernel content of /sys/class/devfreq/
----------------------------------------------------------
sys/class/devfreq /
10c20000.memory-controller soc:bus-g2d soc:bus-mfc
11800000.gpu soc:bus-g2d-acp soc:bus-mscl

soc:bus-fsys-apb soc:bus-jpeg soc:bus-wcore
soc:bus-fsys2 soc:bus-jpeg-apb
----------------------------------------------------------

IIRC some Odroid kernel maintained by Hardkernel had more devices
in this dir.


Here is how these bus devices print themselves during boot:

Make sense, the 'is_cooling_device' does the job.

Thanks for the suggestion, it makes sense.

I will do the change following your example below.

You've removed all references to pfdevfreq->cooling, so please also
remove the member from struct panfrost_devfreq (as already done with
lima and msm).

Sure, thanks for spotting this.
