Subject: [PATCH V2] cpufreq: ARM big LITTLE: Add generic cpufreq driver and its DT glue

big LITTLE is ARM's new Architecture focussing power/performance needs of modern
world. More information about big LITTLE can be found here:

http://www.arm.com/products/processors/technologies/biglittleprocessing.php
http://lwn.net/Articles/481055/

In order to keep cpufreq support for all big LITTLE platforms simple/generic,
this patch tries to add a generic cpufreq driver layer for all big LITTLE
platforms.

The driver is divided into two parts:
- Core driver: Generic and shared across all big LITTLE SoC's
- Glue drivers: Per platform drivers providing ops to the core driver

This patch adds in a generic glue driver which would extract information from
Device Tree.

Future SoC's can either reuse the DT glue or write their own depending on the
need.

V1->V2:
- It was reviewed here earlier: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/4/614
- It supports OPP library now and doesn't create a new binding for cpufreq table
- It doesn't add any dependency on cluster node in DT, rather we work with
existing cpu nodes, Documentation updated.
- cpu_dev used because of OPP library and hence dev_err/dbg/info used at
multiple places.
- Interface with glue driver updated a bit
- IS_ERR_OR_NULL replaced with IS_ERR for clk_get
- clk_get_sys used instead of clk_get and name of clk is also updated
- Few more minor cleanups done.

It is pushed here:

+Generic ARM big LITTLE cpufreq driver's DT glue
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+This is DT specific glue layer for generic cpufreq driver for big LITTLE
+systems.
+
+Both required and optional properties listed below must be defined
+under node /cpus/cpu@x. Where x is the first cpu inside a cluster.
+
+NOTE: Cpus should boot in the order specified in DT and all cpus for a cluster
+must be present contiguously. Generic DT driver will check only node 'x' for
+cpu:x.
+
+Required properties:
+- operating-points: Refer to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/opp.txt
+ for details
+
+Optional properties:
+- clock-latency: Specify the possible maximum transition latency for clock,
+ in unit of nanoseconds.
+
+Examples:
+
+cpus {
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+
+ cpu@0 {
+ compatible = "arm,cortex-a15";
+ reg = <0>;
+ next-level-cache = <&L2>;
+ operating-points = <
+ /* kHz uV */
+ 792000 1100000
+ 396000 950000
+ 198000 850000
+ >;
+ clock-latency = <61036>; /* two CLK32 periods */
+ };
+
+ cpu@1 {
+ compatible = "arm,cortex-a15";
+ reg = <1>;
+ next-level-cache = <&L2>;
+ };
+
+ cpu@100 {
+ compatible = "arm,cortex-a7";
+ reg = <100>;
+ next-level-cache = <&L2>;
+ operating-points = <
+ /* kHz uV */
+ 792000 950000
+ 396000 750000
+ 198000 450000
+ >;
+ clock-latency = <61036>; /* two CLK32 periods */
+ };
+
+ cpu@101 {
+ compatible = "arm,cortex-a7";
+ reg = <101>;
+ next-level-cache = <&L2>;
+ };

I fail to see anything bL specific here. This is just multi-cluster, but
even for that I don't see anything new other than simply allowing per
cpu or per cluster opp's. The fact that we have one opp for a cluster is
simply an implementation decision in CortexA cores.

The OS cannot necessarily control the order. The OS should be able to
boot on which ever core comes up first.

Don't we already have "transition-latency" defined? Don't create
something new. Ideally, this should have had "-ns" appended, but the
binding is already defined.

What is specific to bL? This looks like just a multi-cluster cpufreq
driver and should be generalized to that. Also, why can't the existing
cpufreq-cpu0 driver be extended to support this?

Why? Because that is what the define is or there are other limitations?
Seems like this could and should be dynamically discovered with DT.

For now it is a very simple driver and yes probably multi-cluster only. It
will be updated with In Kernel Switcher support as soon as Linaro makes
a decision to opensource that (likely to happen soon).

Yes, there can be implementations, like krait, which can have per cpu
control of opp, but we will wait for any such platform before making this
driver complex.

This should be a FIXME instead (will update it). I am waiting for
final DT bindings
from ARM guys before this can be written on stone.

For now this is the limitation and it should go away as soon as DT bindings are
finalized.

No, its clock-latency.

$ git grep "clock-latency" Documentation/devicetree/bindings/
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/cpufreq/cpufreq-cpu0.txt:-
clock-latency: Specify the possible maximum transition latency for
clock,
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/cpufreq/cpufreq-spear.txt:-
clock-latency: Specify the possible maximum transition latency for
clock, in

Though transition-latency is mentioned by the example of cpufreq-cpu0.
I will fix it.

I had the same intention.

With IKS code in, it will be a complete big LITTLE driver.

To keep it simple, as for now as all early systems (atleast which are announced)
have dual cluster systems only.

We will update it once we have some real systems breaking this law.

If of_find_node_by_path() returns NULL, there will be a NULL pointer
dereference.

of_node_put() should be called on np before returning.
Also, the reference count of the parent node should be decremented as well.

These comments apply to the below function dt_get_transition_latency() too.

Thanks Francesco.

Below fixes this (I will send it separately to Rafael):

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] cpufreq: ARM big LITTLE: put DT nodes after using them

DT nodes should be put using of_node_put() to balance their usage counts. This
is not done properly in ARM's big LITTLE driver. Fix it.
