Subject: [RFC PATCH] drm/panfrost: Handle IDVS_GROUP_SIZE feature

The IDVS group size feature was missing. It is used on some Bifrost and
Valhall GPUs, and is the last kernel-relevant Bifrost feature we're
missing.

This feature adds an extra IDVS group size field to the JM_CONFIG
register. In kbase, the value is configurable via the device tree; kbase
uses 0xF as a default if no value is specified. Until we find a device
demanding otherwise, let's always set the 0xF default on devices which
support this feature mimicking kbase's behaviour.

As JM_CONFIG is an undocumented register, it's not clear to me what
happens if we fail to include this handling. Index-driven vertex shading
already works on Bifrost boards with this feature without this handling.
Perhaps this has performance implications? Patch untested for the
moment, wanted to give Steven a chance to comment.

Applies on top of my feature clean up series which should go in first.
(That's pure cleaunp, this is a behaviour change RFC needing
discussion.)

Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH] drm/panfrost: Handle IDVS_GROUP_SIZE feature

kbase dt-bindings say that tasks are sent to cores in groups of N + 1,
where N is the value here. So our old behaviour sends tasks in groups of
1; the new behaviour sends tasks in groups of 16. I assume this has
performance implications but no conformance implications.

Searching GitHub, I can't find any device trees that set
idvs-group-size out of the many random Android forks people have
uploaded, so I don't think this will matter for any production device.
(Was this a workaround for preproduction silicon? or FPGAs? or was this
an option for the sake of having an option?)

This is a performance thing - so I don't think it will break anything if
this is wrong, it just won't be optimal.

As it's a performance thing you shouldn't see correctness issues with
not setting it. But 0xF seems to have been chosen as it gave the best
overall performance (although for individual test content this can
vary). AFAICT the performance impact isn't massive either.

Since you've tagged this RFC I won't merge it now, but it looks correct
to me.

Then interpret my remarks as hardcoding the default until we find a
device where setting to something other than 0xF improves performance
nontrivially. (Read: I am lazy and do not want to write dt-bindings for
something nobody will ever use.)

Good to know, will update the commit message accordingly.

Thanks for the review... I hope you like reviewing Panfrost patches
because I have a Valhall bring-up series waiting o:)

When I get a chance to uprev the kernel on my G52 board I'll see if I
can benchmark the impact of this change, so far this is only
compile-tested. Even if there's no impact the patch should likely go in
to stay consistent with kbase, but hopefully there's a win from this. At
that point I'll send a v2 with your reviewed-by (and hopefully no
changes other than the commit message) and we'll land that.
