ARM: mx28: cpufreq-cpu0 support?

[Stefan Wahren]

Hi,

could you please tell me, is i.MX28 supported by cpufreq-cpu0?

Do we need only the necessary DT entries like operating points or is it 
more?

Thanks in advance

Clock might as simple as adding DT entries, but I'm not sure we have
voltage scaling support for i.MX28 in kernel.

As far as i know, the old Freescale BSP (2.6.35) contains a cpufreq 
driver for mxs, which never goes to mainline. So i'm not sure what would 
be the best way: porting the old driver or using cpufreq-cpu0.

First step would be to port the PMU driver into mainline.

I mean this regulator driver:
http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/linux-2.6-imx.git/tree/drivers/regulator/mxs-regulator.c?h=imx_2.6.35_maintain

,so that you can do the voltage scaling.

thanks. Okay, that leads to more questions:

How can i test a ported mxs-regulator driver, that it's really working? 
Is there any userspace interface?

Is there a good DT implementation of a similiar regulator driver, so i 
can orientate on?

What are the recommend mailing lists for this porting (linux-pm and 
linux-arm-kernel)?

After you ported the mxs regulator you can check whether it probed
correctly and if the reported voltages in the kernel log match the
register settings. You can also check if the voltages are really in
the correct reported value with a scope.

On mx6q we have the following:

[    0.070554] vdd1p1: 800 <--> 1375 mV at 1100 mV
[    0.071521] vdd3p0: 2800 <--> 3150 mV at 3000 mV
[    0.072397] vdd2p5: 2000 <--> 2750 mV at 2400 mV
[    0.073369] vddarm: 725 <--> 1450 mV at 1150 mV
[    0.074282] vddpu: 725 <--> 1450 mV at 1150 mV
[    0.075247] vddsoc: 725 <--> 1450 mV at 1200 mV

and you should get something like that in your kernel log after you
ported the mxs regulator driver.

You could take a look at the drivers/regulator/anatop-regulator.c
driver, which handles the internal regulators on mx6.

The dts is arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl.dtsi . Search for "anatop-regulator"

After you generate a patch, just run '/scripts/get_maintainer.pl' on
your patch and it will give you some hints. Mark Brown is the
regulator drivers maintainer.

thanks again. Now i unterstand much more, but otherwise the portation 
won't be straight forward. The old source in 
drivers/regulator/mxs-regulator.c needs a low level part located in 
arch/arm/plat-mx28/power.c . As far as i know, the low level part needs 
to move into the devicetree binding and into the mxs-regulator.c . Am i 
right?

Yesterday i had looked into the mx28 reference manual and into the low 
level part of the mxs regulator. The reference manual defines four 
voltage regulators: vddd, vdda, vddio and vddmem plus a overall current 
regulator. But the low level part make use of vddd, vdda, vddio, 
vddio_bo and the overall current.

Do i need the brown out regulator (vddio_bo) and the vddmem?

As far as I understand vddmem is not used on mx28evk. From the mx28
reference manual;

"11.12.8 VDDMEM Supply Targets Control Register
(HW_POWER_VDDMEMCTRL)
This register controls the voltage target for a memory supply
generated from VDDA. This
supply is intended for use with external memories such as LV-DDR that
have unique voltage
requirements not compatible with VDDIO, VDDA , or VDDD."

i've ported the mxs-regulator driver and now i'm getting an probing 
output like above with Linux 3.17-rc4.

Now i want to test the mxs-regulator driver with the cpufreq-cpu0 as 
consumer. So i defined cpu@0 according to cpufreq-cpu0 binding in 
imx28.dtsi and enabled cpufreq-cpu0 driver and userspace gov in Kernel 
config.

But if i modprobe cpufreq-cpu0 i don't get any output and the entry 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq is also missing.

Any ideas, what's wrong or missing?

Stefan

i've ported the mxs-regulator driver and now i'm getting an probing 
output like above with Linux 3.17-rc4.

Now i want to test the mxs-regulator driver with the cpufreq-cpu0 as 
consumer. So i defined cpu at 0 according to cpufreq-cpu0 binding in 
imx28.dtsi and enabled cpufreq-cpu0 driver and userspace gov in Kernel 
config.

But if i modprobe cpufreq-cpu0 i don't get any output and the entry 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq is also missing.

Any ideas, what's wrong or missing?

Best regards
Stefan

Have you registered cpufreq-cpu0 inside arch/arm/mach-mxs/mach-mxs.c?

thanks, registering cpufreq-cpu0 and adding missing properties reg & 
clocks did the trick.

Now the sys interface of cpufreq is available and the mxs-regulator 
seems to handle frequency change. But the frequency selection do not 
work as expected. If i set cpu frequency to 454736, 392727 or 261818 
kHz, the cpufreq driver change it silently to 240000 kHz.

Why? Is it the wrong clock ( 21 should be cpu )?

Thanks in advance
Stefan

Why 454736 instead of 454MHz? Same for the other values.

24MHz is the osc clock. It seems you did not turn on the PLL0.

Check the POWER bit of HW_CLKCTRL_PLL0CTRL0 register.

Why 454736 instead of 454MHz? Same for the other values.

24MHz is the osc clock. It seems you did not turn on the PLL0.

Check the POWER bit of HW_CLKCTRL_PLL0CTRL0 register.

Hi,

i added linux-pm list.

I took these values from the cpufreq driver in the Freescale BSP and 
they are in the datasheet, too. If i take 454000 and so one, i will get 
this nice oops:

240000 kHz = 240 MHz

I fixed this specific problem by setting the clock reference in the DT 
to ref_cpu instead of cpu. After that i'm able to set 392727, 360000, 
261818 and 64000 kHz. Unfortunately the highest and default value 454736 
is not selectable:

That looks like a bug in cpufreq.
