[PATCH v3 1/5] Documentation: add DT binding for ARM System Control and Power Interface(SCPI) protocol

From: Sudeep Holla
Date: Wed May 27 2015 - 05:53:46 EST


This patch adds devicetree binding for System Control and Power
Interface (SCPI) Message Protocol used between the Application Cores(AP)
and the System Control Processor(SCP). The MHU peripheral provides a
mechanism for inter-processor communication between SCP's M3 processor
and AP.

SCP offers control and management of the core/cluster power states,
various power domain DVFS including the core/cluster, certain system
clocks configuration, thermal sensors and many others.

+System Control and Power Interface (SCPI) Message Protocol
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible : should be "arm,scpi"
+- mboxes: List of phandle and mailbox channel specifiers
+- shmem : List of phandle pointing to the shared memory(SHM) area between the
+ processors using these mailboxes for IPC, one for each mailbox
+
+See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mailbox/mailbox.txt
+for more details about the generic mailbox controller and
+client driver bindings.
+
+Clock bindings for the clocks based on SCPI Message Protocol
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This binding uses the common clock binding[1].
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : shall be one of the following:
+ "arm,scpi-clocks" - for the container node with all the clocks
+ based on the SCPI protocol
+ "arm,scpi-dvfs" - all the clocks that are variable and index based.
+ These clocks don't provide the full range between the limits
+ but only discrete points within the range. The firmware
+ provides the mapping for each such operating frequency and the
+ index associated with it. The firmware also manages the
+ voltage scaling appropriately with the clock scaling.
+ "arm,scpi-clk" - all the clocks that are variable and provide full
+ range within the specified range. The firmware provides the
+ supported range for each clock.
+
+Required properties for all clocks(all from common clock binding):
+- #clock-cells : should be set to 1 as each of the SCPI clocks have multiple
+ outputs. The clock specifier will be the index to an entry in the list
+ of output clocks.
+- clock-output-names : shall be the corresponding names of the outputs.
+- clock-indices: The identifyng number for the clocks(clock_id) in the node as
+ expected by the firmware. It can be non linear and hence provide the
+ mapping of identifiers into the clock-output-names array.

+Example:
+
+sram: sram@50000000 {
+ compatible = "arm,juno-sram-ns", "mmio-sram";
+ reg = <0x0 0x50000000 0x0 0x10000>;
+
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <1>;
+ ranges = <0 0x0 0x50000000 0x10000>;
+
+ cpu_scp_lpri: scp-shmem@0 {
+ compatible = "arm,juno-scp-shmem";
+ reg = <0x0 0x200>;
+ };
+
+ cpu_scp_hpri: scp-shmem@200 {
+ compatible = "arm,juno-scp-shmem";
+ reg = <0x200 0x200>;
+ };
+};
+
+mailbox: mailbox0@40000000 {
+ ....
+ #mbox-cells = <1>;
+};
+
+scpi_protocol: scpi@2e000000 {
+ compatible = "arm,scpi";
+ mboxes = <&mailbox 0 &mailbox 1>;
+ shmem = <&cpu_scp_lpri &cpu_scp_hpri>;
+
+ clocks {
+ compatible = "arm,scpi-clocks";
+
+ scpi_dvfs: scpi_clocks@0 {
+ compatible = "arm,scpi-dvfs";
+ #clock-cells = <1>;
+ clock-indices = <0>, <1>, <2>;
+ clock-output-names = "vbig", "vlittle", "vgpu";
+ };
+ scpi_clk: scpi_clocks@3 {
+ compatible = "arm,scpi-clk";
+ #clock-cells = <1>;
+ clock-indices = <3>, <4>;
+ clock-output-names = "pxlclk0", "pxlclk1";
+ };
+ };
+};
+
+cpu@0 {
+ ...
+ reg = <0 0>;
+ clocks = <&scpi_dvfs 0>;
+ clock-names = "big";
+};
+
+hdlcd@7ff60000 {
+ ...
+ reg = <0 0x7ff60000 0 0x1000>;
+ clocks = <&scpi_clk 1>;
+ clock-names = "pxlclk";
+};
+
+In the above example, the #clock-cells is set to 1 as required.
+scpi_dvfs has 3 output clocks namely: vbig, vlittle and vgpu with 0, 1
+and 2 as clock-indices. scpi_clk has 2 output clocks namely: pxlclk0 and
+pxlclk1 with 3 and 4 as clock-indices.
+
+The first consumer in the example is cpu@0 and it has vbig as input clock.
+The index '0' in the clock specifier here points to the first entry in the
+output clocks of scpi_dvfs for which clock_id asrequired by the firmware
+is 0.
+
+Similarly the second example is hdlcd@7ff60000 and it has pxlclk0 as input
+clock. The index '1' in the clock specifier here points to the second entry
+in the output clocks of scpi_clocks for which clock_id as required by the
+firmware is 4.
