Current OPP (Operating performance point) DT bindings are proven to be insufficient at multiple instances.
There had been multiple band-aid approaches to get them fixed (The latest one being: http://www.mail-archive.com/devicetree@vger.kernel.org/msg53398.html). For obvious reasons Rob rejected them and shown the right path forward.
The shortcomings we are trying to solve here:
- How to select which driver to probe for a platform, when multiple drivers are available. For example: how to choose between cpufreq-dt and arm_big_little drivers.
- Getting clock sharing information between CPUs. Single shared clock vs independent clock per core vs shared clock per cluster.
- Support for turbo modes
- Support for intermediate frequencies or OPPs we can switch to.
- Other per OPP settings: transition latencies, disabled status, etc.?
Please see the below bindings for further details.
Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar viresh.kumar@linaro.org --- V2-V3: - drop list-nodes - opp-microvolt is an array now, also is optional. - New shared-opp property - compatible property clearly defined - opp-next instead of intermediate-property
I will circulate code as well, once this is accepted/applied.

-SoCs have a standard set of tuples consisting of frequency and -voltage pairs that the device will support per voltage domain. These -are called Operating Performance Points or OPPs. +Devices work at voltage-frequency pairs and some implementations have the +liberty of choosing these pairs. These pairs are called Operating Performance +Points aka OPPs. This document defines bindings for these OPPs applicable across +wide range of devices. For illustration purpose, this document uses CPU as a +device. + + +* Property: operating-points-v2 + +Devices supporting OPPs must set their "operating-points-v2" property with +phandle to a OPP descriptor in their DT node. The OPP core will use this phandle +to find the operating points for the device. + + +* OPP Descriptor Node + +This describes the OPPs belonging to a device. This node can have following +properties: + +Required properties: +- compatible: Allow OPPs to express their compatibility. It should be: + "operating-points-v2". +- OPP nodes: One or more OPP nodes describing frequency-voltage pairs. Their + name isn't significant but their phandles can be used to reference an OPP. + +Optional properties: +- shared-opp: Indicates that device nodes using this OPP descriptor's phandle + switch their DVFS state together, i.e. they share clock lines. Missing + property means devices have independent clock lines, but they share OPPs. + + +* OPP Node + +This defines frequency-voltage pairs along with other related properties. + +Required properties: +- opp-khz: Frequency in kHz + +Optional properties: +- opp-microvolt: voltage in micro Volts. Its an array with size one or three. + Single entry is for target voltage and three entries are for (in the specified + order) <target min max> voltage. +- clock-latency-ns: Specifies the maximum possible transition latency (in + nanoseconds) for switching to this OPP from any other OPP. +- opp-next: It contains a list of phandles of other OPPs, to which we can switch + directly from this OPP (Explained later with examples). Missing property means + no restriction on switching to other OPPs. +- turbo-mode: Marks the OPP to be used only for turbo modes. +- status: Marks the node enabled/disabled. + +Example 1: Single cluster Dual-core ARM cortex A9, switch DVFS states together. + +/ { + cpus { + #address-cells = <1>; + #size-cells = <0>; + + cpu@0 { + compatible = "arm,cortex-a9"; + reg = <0>; + next-level-cache = <&L2>; + clocks = <&clk_controller 0>; + clock-names = "cpu"; + opp-supply = <&cpu_supply0>; + operating-points-v2 = <&cpu0_opp>; + }; + + cpu@1 { + compatible = "arm,cortex-a9"; + reg = <1>; + next-level-cache = <&L2>; + clocks = <&clk_controller 0>; + clock-names = "cpu"; + opp-supply = <&cpu_supply0>; + operating-points-v2 = <&cpu0_opp>; + }; + }; + + cpu0_opp: opp0 { + compatible = "operating-points-v2"; + shared-opp; + + entry00 { + opp-khz = <1000000>; + opp-microvolt = <970000 975000 985000>; + clock-latency-ns = <300000>; + }; + entry01 { + opp-khz = <1100000>; + opp-microvolt = <980000 1000000 1010000>; + clock-latency-ns = <310000>; + }; + entry02 { + opp-khz = <1200000>; + opp-microvolt = <1025000>; + clock-latency-ns = <290000>; + turbo-mode; + }; + }; +}; + +Example 2: Single cluster, Quad-core Qualcom-krait, switches DVFS states +independently. + +/ { + cpus { + #address-cells = <1>; + #size-cells = <0>; + + cpu@0 { + compatible = "qcom,krait"; + reg = <0>; + next-level-cache = <&L2>; + clocks = <&clk_controller 0>; + clock-names = "cpu"; + opp-supply = <&cpu_supply0>; + operating-points-v2 = <&cpu0_opp>; + }; + + cpu@1 { + compatible = "qcom,krait"; + reg = <1>; + next-level-cache = <&L2>; + clocks = <&clk_controller 1>; + clock-names = "cpu"; + opp-supply = <&cpu_supply1>; + operating-points-v2 = <&cpu0_opp>; + }; + + cpu@2 { + compatible = "qcom,krait"; + reg = <2>; + next-level-cache = <&L2>; + clocks = <&clk_controller 2>; + clock-names = "cpu"; + opp-supply = <&cpu_supply2>; + operating-points-v2 = <&cpu0_opp>; + }; + + cpu@3 { + compatible = "qcom,krait"; + reg = <3>; + next-level-cache = <&L2>; + clocks = <&clk_controller 3>; + clock-names = "cpu"; + opp-supply = <&cpu_supply3>; + operating-points-v2 = <&cpu0_opp>; + }; + }; + + cpu0_opp: opp0 { + compatible = "operating-points-v2"; + + /* + * Missing shared-opp property means CPUs switch DVFS states + * independently. + */ + + entry00 { + opp-khz = <1000000>; + opp-microvolt = <970000 975000 985000>; + clock-latency-ns = <300000>; + }; + entry01 { + opp-khz = <1100000>; + opp-microvolt = <980000 1000000 1010000>; + clock-latency-ns = <310000>; + }; + entry02 { + opp-khz = <1200000>; + opp-microvolt = <1025000>; + clock-latency-ns = <290000>; + turbo-mode; + }; + }; +}; + +Example 3: Dual-cluster, Dual-core per cluster.
