+Rockchip cpu avs device tree bindings
+-------------------------------------
+
+Under the same frequency, the operating voltage tends to decrease with
+increasing leakage. so it is necessary to adjust opp's voltage according
+to leakage for power.
+
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Should be one of the following.
+ - "rockchip,rk3399-cpu-avs" - for RK3399 SoCs.
+- leakage-volt-<name>: Named leakage-volt property. At runtime, the
+ platform can find a cpu's cluster_id according to it's cpu_id and
match
+ leakage-volt-<name> property. The property is an array of 3-tuples
+ items, and each item consists of leakage and voltage like
+ <min-leakage-mA max-leakage-mA vol-uV>.
+ min-leakage: minimum leakage in mA.
+ max-leakage: maximum leakage in mA.
+ vol: voltage in microvolt.
How do you determine these values? When do they vary?
How do you determine these values?

run antutu-benchmark
leakage freq min_volt
30mA 1608MHz 1025mV
40mA 1608MHz 1000mV
50mA 1608MHz 975mV

From the table, we see the min_volt decrease with increasing leakage.
So we can set the default opp-microvolt 1025mV for 1608MHz,
and add an leakage_volt_cluster0 property as follows.
leakage_volt_cluster0 = <
/* min(mA) max(mA) volt(uV)*/
0 40 0
41 50 (-25000)
51 254 (-50000)

;
If the leakage is between 41mA and 50mAïthe opp-microvolt will subtract
25mVã If the leakage is between 41mA and 50mAïthe opp-microvolt will
subtract 50mVã

When do they vary?

From the code,
cpufreq_online
--cpufreq_driver->init(policy); /* add new opp table */
--blocking_notifier_call_chain(&cpufreq_policy_notifier_list,
CPUFREQ_START, policy);
--cpufreq_init_policy
----cpufreq_set_policy
--------__cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_START);

The cpu's opp table is added in the init function(cpufreq_init)ïand I will
register a cpufreq notifier, once the first cpu of cluster is onlined,
my notifer will be called, and if the event is CPUFREQ_STARTïit will modify
the opp-microvolt according to leakage_volt_cluster0.
I think what Rob was asking with "when do they vary" is, are these leakage
values the same for each and every rk3399 soc or are they determined
separately for each board-type using the rk3399.

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood.
They are the same for every rk3399 soc.
