[PATCH v3 08/13] dt-bindings: arm: cpus: Add a power-domain-name for a performance-domain

[Ulf Hansson]

When an CPU's performance domain is managed through the SCMI firmware,
let's enable us describe this as a consumer of a power-domain provider,
which is the de-facto standard to use for performance domains. In this
case, let's specify a corresponding power-domain-name, to point out the
corresponding index for it.

This patch and 10/13 are quite generic. I am happy to take it as part of
this series but just thought of checking again if that is what you prefer ?

Yes please, go ahead and pick this up through your scmi tree.

Thanks, I just need Viresh's ack for cpufreq changes, we are otherwise all
set with the series. I will pull once I have his ack.

[PATCH v3 09/13] dt-bindings: firmware: arm,scmi: Extend bindings for protocol@13

[Ulf Hansson]

The protocol@13 node is describing the performance scaling option for the
ARM SCMI interface, as a clock provider. This is unnecessary limiting, as
performance scaling is in many cases not limited to switching a clock's
frequency.

Therefore, let's extend the binding so the interface can be modelled as a
generic performance domain too. The common way to describe this, is to use
the power-domain DT bindings, so let's use that.

[PATCH v3 10/13] dt-bindings: power: Clarify performance capabilities of power-domains

[Ulf Hansson]

The power-domains bindings has in many years been used to describe so
called performance-domains too. Rather than using a separate binding it has
been convenient to re-use the power-domain bindings, as in some cases it's
in fact a combination of the both that would be the best description.

Therefore, let's make it more clear that the power-domains bindings can be
used to describe a performance-domain too.
