The Qualcomm automotive SA8255p SoC relies on firmware to configure
platform resources, including clocks, interconnects and TLMM (GPIOs).
These resources are controlled by the driver via SCMI power and
performance protocols.

The SCMI power protocol is used to enable and disable platform
resources, including clocks, interconnect paths, and TLMM, by mapping
resource state transitions to the runtime PM framework’s
resume/suspend callbacks.

In this design, the ICE driver acts as an SCMI client, with clocks and
power domains abstracted and controlled by the SCMI server in firmware.
This implementation depends on pm_runtime_resume_and_get() and
pm_runtime_put_sync(), which are available in the OPP tree’s
linux-next branch.

[PATCH v2 1/3] dt-bindings: crypto: qcom,ice: Add sa8255p support

[Linlin Zhang]

On sa8255p, resources such as PHY, clocks, regulators, and resets are
managed by remote firmware via the SCMI power protocol. As a result, the
ICE driver cannot directly access clocks and must instead use power-domains
to request resource configuration.

Add the qcom,sa8255p-inline-crypto-engine compatible string and make clocks
optional for platforms that use power-domains instead.

[PATCH v2 2/3] soc: qcom: ice: Enable PM runtime for ICE driver

[Linlin Zhang]

The QCOM ICE driver manages the ICE core clock through direct calls to
clk_prepare_enable() and clk_disable_unprepare(), which limits integration
with platforms that rely on firmware-managed resources or platform-specific
power management mechanisms.

Replace direct clock management with runtime PM support by moving clock
enable and disable into runtime PM callbacks. Use
pm_runtime_resume_and_get() and pm_runtime_put_sync() in qcom_ice_resume()
and qcom_ice_suspend() to drive power state transitions, and enable runtime
PM in qcom_ice_probe().

[PATCH v2 3/3] soc: qcom: ice: Add SCMI support for sa8255p based targets

[Linlin Zhang]

The Qualcomm automotive SA8255p SoC relies on firmware to configure
platform resources, including clocks, interconnects and TLMM.
The driver requests resources operations over SCMI using power
and performance protocols.

The SCMI power protocol enables or disables resources like clocks,
interconnect paths, and TLMM (GPIOs) using runtime PM framework APIs,
such as resume/suspend, to control power states(on/off).

The SCMI performance protocol manages ICE clock, with a power domain
set for ICE clock. The driver uses runtime PM framework APIs to
request power on/off status of the clock.

This should go to its own binding file just like in all other
SCMI-variant cases. And if you looked how these other files are done,
you would see my complains already that generic fallback is most likely
wrong.

Otherwise explain me what the generic fallback means here and how is it
supposed to work?

Why did I receive this twice? First posted on 7th of May and then on
12th of May?

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260507112454.2527088-2-linlin.zhang@oss.qualcomm.com/

And why do you still Cc incorrect address?

Nope. It's perfectly correct way of managing clocks. Adding runtime PM
ONLY to toggle clocks is absolute killer, pointless overhead without

This is pretty pointless change. At least by quick glance. You changed
nothing here for PM, except adding indirection layer and more locks.
Clocks will be gated the same way, no energy savings. But on the other
hand introducing runtime PM subsystem is huge bunch of code with its own
locks, completely unnecessary here.

This itself is poor choice and has NEGATIVE impact on all existing
platforms without any benefit.

I am surprised you went through SIX internal reviews, collected two
internal review tags and no one suggested that using runtime PM ONLY to
toggle clocks is pretty pointless and undesired.

Krzysztof

Thanks for the review.

You are right that the SCMI-based implementation differs from the
traditional inline crypto engine in terms of resource control. On
sa8255p, clocks and other resources are managed by remote firmware
via SCMI, so the driver does not directly control these resources
and instead relies on power domains.

Given this difference, the SCMI variant does not match the same
programming model as the existing qcom,inline-crypto-engine
implementation. Using it as a generic fallback is therefore not
appropriate, as the generic compatible implies that the device can
be handled equivalently by the same driver assumptions, which is
not the case here.

I will rework the bindings to:
  - introduce a separate binding for the SCMI-based variant, and
  - drop the generic fallback compatible string.

This should align better with other SCMI-based bindings and avoid
overloading the meaning of the generic compatible.

Thanks for pointing this out.

This patch was review internally, and the final version was v6 which is
approved for posting to upstream review. I'm sorry that I forgot update
the version to v1 when I posted this patch to https://lore.kernel.org/.
This is why you see the previous was v6.

I updated the patch to v2 (this is current patchset) with some changes.

Would you please help instruct me how to fix it? need I re-post the patch
serial from v1?

Are you pasting here LLM responses? Two long paragraphs, written in over
formal English with no grammar errors and repeating standard AI slop
answer - "You are right".

Sending me LLM responses or LLM patches is unfortunately straight way to
get ignored.

Re: [PATCH v2 2/3] soc: qcom: ice: Enable PM runtime for ICE driver

[Linlin Zhang]

Hi Krzysztof,

Thanks for the review.

For the SCMI-based platforms (e.g. sa8255p), the ICE resources such as
clocks are not controlled directly by the ICE driver. Instead, they are
managed by remote firmware and exposed to Linux via power domains. As a
result, the ICE driver cannot use clk_prepare_enable() directly to
control the hardware clock.

The intention of moving the clock handling into runtime PM callbacks is
to align the ICE driver with the power domain framework used on these
platforms. When the ICE device is attached to a power domain, invoking
pm_runtime_resume_and_get() will trigger the provider (remote firmware
via SCMI) to power up the device, which in turn enables the underlying
clock and other resources.

This design follows the guidance where the runtime PM framework is
used as the common mechanism to abstract both:
  - direct clock control on non-SCMI platforms, and
  - firmware-controlled resources via power domains on SCMI platforms.

In both cases, the runtime PM callbacks are responsible for performing
the actual resource enable/disable:
  - for legacy platforms: clk_prepare_enable()/disable_unprepare()
  - for SCMI platforms: power domain on/off handled by firmware

So while it may look like an additional layer on legacy platforms, this
approach provides a unified mechanism without requiring separate driver
entry points or special handling in the upper layers (e.g. UFS driver).

That said, I understand your concern that introducing runtime PM solely
for clock gating can be seen as unnecessary overhead on existing
platforms. I will revisit the implementation to ensure that:
  - the runtime PM integration does not introduce regressions for legacy
    platforms, and
  - the design clearly justifies the common abstraction for both SCMI
    and non-SCMI cases.

In addition, I rewrite the commit message as the following to make the
intention more clear.

  On some platforms the ICE device is placed in a firmware-managed power
  domain. In those cases the ICE core resources (including the clock) are
  not directly controllable by Linux and are instead toggled by the power
  domain provider (e.g. remote firmware via SCMI).

  Wire the ICE device into runtime PM so that a single pm_runtime
  transition is used to bring the ICE device up/down. When the device is
  attached to a PM domain, pm_runtime_resume_and_get()/pm_runtime_put_sync()
  will invoke the PM domain callbacks and let the provider manage the
  resources. On platforms without a PM domain the runtime PM callbacks
  continue to perform the existing clock enable/disable locally.

  No functional change is intended for non-firmware-managed platforms; the
  change provides a common control point that allows ICE to operate when
  resources are owned by a PM domain provider.

Thanks again for the feedback. I would appreciate your further review
and comments.

Best regards,
Linlin

Nothing here resolves the comments. Also, it's top posted. Honestly, I
