Subject: [PATCH] arm64: dts: rockchip: Add dynamic-power-coefficient to rk3399 GPU

Add dynamic-power-coefficient to the GPU node. That will create Energy
Model for the GPU based on the coefficient and OPP table information.
It will enable mechanism such as DTMP or IPA to work with the GPU DVFS.
In similar way the Energy Model for CPUs in rk3399 is created, so both
are aligned in power scale. The maximum power used from this coefficient
is 1.5W at 600MHz.

2640 is a pretty arbitary value, so it would be really helpful to describe
in the commit message, how you arrived with that specific value.


Thanks

It's in the above patch header. The power at 600MHz is ~1.5Watts, so for
max freq and max voltage you get the coefficient. The DT schema
describes quite well how the coefficient is calculated. IMO, there is no
need to duplicate that description here [1].

Have you checked that documentation? Is there still anything unclear?
I might elaborate a bit more why it's important for GPU to take the top
OPP for considerations (due to thermal operating mostly on top-half
OPPs, but the curve is a bit constraining). Unfortunately, this simple
model doesn't allow to reflect the leakage impact over time. It doesn't
also address the chip binning lottery. Although, it will be possible in
near future to address those [2].

Lukasz

For reference, in the ChromeOS downstrean v5.10 kernel we have:

gpu_power_model: power_model {
compatible = "arm,mali-simple-power-model";
static-coefficient = <411522>;
dynamic-coefficient = <977>;
ts = <32000 4700 (-80) 2>;
thermal-zone = "gpu";
};

This is for the Mali kbase.

That's downstream driver for downstream IPA thermal governor, which is
different. As you can see there, there is a split of the total power
to 'static power' and 'dynamic power' and thus those 2 coefficients:
'static-coefficient' and 'dynamic-coefficient'. There is also
polynomial for the exponential curve approximating temperature impact
to the increasing leakage (static power).

This is totally not upstream code and quite complex to derive thus
fly upstream. Therefore, in upstream we have very simple power
model right now, but it will be possible to update it at runtime
when the leakage is increased. I hope the new v5 version that
I'm going to send, will get into mainline soon [1].

Lukasz
