I suspect this will not work without a change for a driver.


I had the impression single interconnect entries would be taken in account
by the platform core, but it doesn't seem to be the case, anyway I can;t
find
any code doing that.

Probably you mixed interconnects and power-domains here.


The driver change was submitted some time ago:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210505213731.538612-10-bhupesh.sharma@xxxxxxxxxx/

There is already DTS user of it and we expect driver to be resubmitted
at some point.

What I don't really get is that crypto driver sets bandwidth for
interconnects, not the BAM. Why BAM needs interconnect? Usually you do
not need to initialize some middle paths. Getting the final interconnect
path (e.g. crypto-memory) is enough, because it includes everything in
between.

Indeed the interconnect on BAM may be redundant since QCE sets the BW,
I'll investigate to understand if it's also necessary on BAM.

Maybe my review tag was a bit premature...
