Thank you, Graeme. This is exactly the clarification that I needed.

 

Are there any other requirements for the GUID implementation? Is it appropriate to calculate a single GUID with uuidgen to use in both the AMBA bus ACPI module and any device drivers that need to access these key/value pairs?

The decision coming out of the Kernel Plumbers is that these should be key=value types.

 

Certain characters like " " and ";" are not allowed in ACPI namespace so they can be used as seperators.

 

                Method(_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) {
                        Store (Package (6)
                        {
                                "clock-name", "KMIREFCLK \\_SB_.CLK0",
                        }, Local0)
                        Return (Local0)
                }

 

And of course the _DSM has to check for the GUID of the key/value pairs data type before returning the package. It does not do it unconditionally.

 

Thanks

 

Graeme

Thank you Hanjun and Graeme for reviewing the clock definition.

Some devices have multiple clocks and they need to be labeled, so I propose the following format:

                Method(_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) {
                        Store (Package (6)
                        {
                                "clock-name", "KMIREFCLK", "\\_SB_.CLK0",
                        }, Local0)
                        Return (Local0)
                }

Other custom parameters are required (for MMCI driver in particular), and they will fit into this format as well:

                Method(_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) {
                        Store (Package (9)
                        {
                                "clock-name", "mclk", "\\_SB_.CLK0",
                                "max-frequency", 12000000, "",
                                "vmmc-supply", "", "",
                        }, Local0)

                        Return (Local0)
                }

Three fields must be specified for each entry (each line above is an entry). Is this acceptable?

Brandon

This is certainly the form we should be using based on ACPI vs DT discussion at kernel plumbers conference.
