Subject: [PATCH 5/7] accel/rocket: add devfreq support
Date: Fri,  4 Sep 2026 15:08:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904130858.27803-6-royalnet026@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904130858.27803-1-royalnet026@gmail.com>

The NPU has run at whatever rate the devicetree pinned it to since the
driver was merged, which on the RK3588 is 200 MHz. The hardware reaches
1 GHz, and the firmware will change the rate on request, so let devfreq
drive it from how busy the cores actually are.

One devfreq device drives all of the cores, because they have one clock and
one supply between them and cannot be scaled apart. It hangs off the core
that carries the OPP table in the devicetree, found by looking for the
property rather than by taking core 0: the core index is handed out in
probe order, which is not the order the cores are written in.

The awkward part is that the clock is generated by a PVTPLL that sits
inside the NPU power islands. An island powered up while the clock is above
the rate the bootloader left never acknowledges the power-on, and the first
register access into it afterwards takes an asynchronous SError. So before
the rate goes up, every core is runtime resumed, and the references are
held for as long as the clock stays raised. While they are held no core can
suspend, so no island can transition at all. That is what makes a raised
clock safe rather than merely unlikely to be caught out, and it is why the
guard and the thing it guards arrive in the same commit: no commit in the
tree ever raises the rate without it.

The cost is that a boosted NPU does not power-gate individual cores. It is
paid only above the boot rate; at the boot rate the references are dropped
and runtime PM behaves as before. What that costs in milliwatts has not
been measured on this board, and I would rather say so than guess. A
measurement, or a design that does not need the references at all, would
both be welcome.

Utilisation is aggregated as the maximum over the cores, not the sum. The
rate has to satisfy the busiest core, and summing would report one
saturated core out of three as a third of the load and clock down
underneath it. Whether that is the right aggregation for a shared clock is
a fair question for review.

The driver does not call devfreq_suspend_device() and
devfreq_resume_device() itself, which is a deviation from panfrost,
panthor, lima and msm. It ends in cancel_delayed_work_sync() on the
governor's own worker, and that worker is what calls back into ->target(),
which resumes every core; from a runtime-suspend callback that waits for a
worker that is waiting for the same callback to finish. An active-core
count narrows the window but does not close it. In its place, ->target()
returns early when the rate is unchanged, so a governor tick on an idle
NPU costs one comparison and resumes nothing.

System suspend is a different matter, and there the call does happen:
dpm_suspend() runs devfreq_suspend() over every registered devfreq before
it walks the devices, from a path that holds none of this driver's locks.
What the driver adds is lowering the rate and dropping the references from
every core's ->suspend, not only the one that owns the devfreq device.
pm_runtime_force_suspend() powers a core down whatever the usage count
says, and the owning core is suspended last, so a suspend that aborts
partway would otherwise leave the clock raised over islands that are
already gated.

The clock and the supply are claimed in one dev_pm_opp_set_config() call
before the table is added. Naming the clock there is not optional: with
no name the OPP core takes the first clock in the node, which is the bus
clock, and would scale that instead of the compute clock. Configuration
and table are set up on the core that carries them in the devicetree,
which is not the device being probed at the time, so none of it can be
devres: the call hands back a token, and rocket_devfreq_fini() releases
it, and the table, by hand. Leaving it to devres would make a later bind
fail on an OPP table the previous teardown never emptied.

The rate is changed through dev_pm_opp_set_rate(), so that the supply moves
with it, which also means nothing may set the rate behind the OPP core's
back: it caches the OPP it last applied and skips a repeat request for it,
so a raw clk_set_rate() would turn the next request for a raised rate into
a silent no-op with sysfs reporting a rate the hardware was not running.
The boot-rate restore added in the previous patch is converted accordingly.

->get_cur_freq() and the status callback report the rate this driver last
programmed rather than asking the clock. devfreq queries them from sysfs
with no runtime PM reference of its own, and the answer has to be a rate
from the OPP table or devfreq_get_freq_level() will not find it and every
transition is logged as unknown.

A devicetree with no OPP table is not an error: the driver returns without
a devfreq device and the NPU keeps its boot rate, as before this patch.

The governor thresholds are a starting point taken from the other
accelerators in tree, not a measurement. Inference workloads have not been
profiled against them.
