[PATCH v2] PM: domains: Scale down parent performance states in reverse order

From: Stephan Gerhold
Date: Wed Jan 03 2024 - 16:34:49 EST


Power domains might have parent domains assigned that are automatically
managed by the PM domain core. In particular, parent domains are
automatically powered on/off and setting performance states on child
domains is translated to parent domains (e.g. using an OPP table from
the device tree).

Currently parent performance states are always adjusted before the
performance state of the child domain is changed.

However, typically a parent/child relationship between two power
domains with performance states models the requirement to keep the
parent domain at a performance state equal or higher to the child
domain. When scaling down there is a brief moment where the parent
domain will end up having a lower performance state than required by
the child domain.

To avoid this, we need to differentiate between scaling up/down and
adjust the order of operations:

- When scaling up, parent domains should be adjusted before the child
domain. In case of an error, the rollback happens in reverse order.

- When scaling down, parent domains should be adjusted after the child
domain, in reverse order, just as if we would rollback scaling up.
In case of an error, the rollback happens in normal order (just as
if we would normally scale up).

Implement this by moving the existing functionality of
_genpd_set_performance_state() to two separate functions that are
called in the proper iteration order.
