PM: Introduce devfreq: generic DVFS framework with device-specific OPPs With OPPs, a device may have multiple operable frequency and voltage sets. However, there can be multiple possible operable sets and a system will need to choose one from them. In order to reduce the power consumption (by reducing frequency and voltage) without affecting the performance too much, a Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) scheme may be used. This patch introduces the DVFS capability to non-CPU devices with OPPs. DVFS is a techique whereby the frequency and supplied voltage of a device is adjusted on-the-fly. DVFS usually sets the frequency as low as possible with given conditions (such as QoS assurance) and adjusts voltage according to the chosen frequency in order to reduce power consumption and heat dissipation. The generic DVFS for devices, devfreq, may appear quite similar with /drivers/cpufreq. However, cpufreq does not allow to have multiple devices registered and is not suitable to have multiple heterogenous devices with different (but simple) governors. Normally, DVFS mechanism controls frequency based on the demand for the device, and then, chooses voltage based on the chosen frequency. devfreq also controls the frequency based on the governor's frequency recommendation and let OPP pick up the pair of frequency and voltage based on the recommended frequency. Then, the chosen OPP is passed to device driver's "target" callback. When PM QoS is going to be used with the devfreq device, the device driver should enable OPPs that are appropriate with the current PM QoS requests. In order to do so, the device driver may call opp_enable and opp_disable at the notifier callback of PM QoS so that PM QoS's update_target() call enables the appropriate OPPs. Note that at least one of OPPs should be enabled at any time; be careful when there is a transition.

PM / devfreq: Add new passive governor This patch adds the new passive governor for DEVFREQ framework. The following governors are already present and used for DVFS (Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling) drivers. The following governors are independently used for one device driver which don't give the influence to other device drviers and also don't receive the effect from other device drivers. - ondemand / performance / powersave / userspace The passive governor depends on operation of parent driver with specific governos extremely and is not able to decide the new frequency by oneself. According to the decided new frequency of parent driver with governor, the passive governor uses it to decide the appropriate frequency for own device driver. The passive governor must need the following information from device tree: - the source clock and OPP tables - the instance of parent device For exameple, there are one more devfreq device drivers which need to change their source clock according to their utilization on runtime. But, they share the same power line (e.g., regulator). So, specific device driver is operated as parent with ondemand governor and then the rest device driver with passive governor is influenced by parent device.

PM / devfreq: event: Add devfreq_event class This patch adds a new class in devfreq, devfreq_event, which provides raw data (e.g., memory bus utilization, GPU utilization) for devfreq governors. - devfreq_event device : Provides raw data for a governor of a devfreq device - devfreq device : Monitors device state and changes frequency/voltage of the device using the raw data from its devfreq_event device. A devfreq device dertermines performance states (normally the frequency and the voltage vlues) based on the results its designtated devfreq governor: e.g., ondemand, performance, powersave. In order to give such results required by a devfreq device, the devfreq governor requires data that indicates the performance requirement given to the devfreq device. The conventional (previous) implementatino of devfreq subsystem requires a devfreq device driver to implement its own mechanism to acquire performance requirement for its governor. However, there had been issues with such requirements: 1. Although performance requirement of such devices is usually acquired from common devices (PMU/PPMU), we do not have any abstract structure to represent them properly. 2. Such performance requirement devices (PMU/PPMU) are actual hardware pieces that may be represented by Device Tree directly while devfreq device itself is a virtual entity that are not considered to be represented by Device Tree according to Device Tree folks. In order to address such issues, a devferq_event device (represented by this patch) provides a template for device drivers representing performance monitoring unit, which gives the basic or raw data for preformance requirement, which in turn, is required by devfreq governors. The following description explains the feature of two kind of devfreq class: - devfreq class (existing) : devfreq consumer device use raw data from devfreq_event device for determining proper current system state and change voltage/frequency dynamically using various governors. - devfreq_event class (new) : Provide measured raw data to devfreq device for governor Cc: MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@samsung.com> Cc: Kyungmin Park <kyungmin.park@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Chanwoo Choi <cw00.choi@samsung.com> [Commit message rewritten & conflict resolved by MyungJoo] Signed-off-by: MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@samsung.com>
