Apologize for the delay! I will have a look asap. Kind regards Uffe

And what about domains where the performance levels are represented by someting other than positive integer values? IMO, this implementation should start with a more generic approach (e.g. OPPs) that would be useful on more SoCs that just qcom. For SoCs like QCOM, you could use dummy/simplfied OPPs that represent the integer values passed to the qcom firmware. > We decided earlier that we should extend Power Domain framework to > support active state power management as well.

Yes. Thanks for working on it! Kevin

Okay, lets leave it for the drivers, at least for the time being. I will drop this patch. -- viresh
Hi, An earlier series[1] tried to implement bindings for PM domain performance states. Rob Herring suggested that we can actually merge the supporting code first instead of bindings, as that will make things easier to understand for all. The bindings can be decided and merged later. The bindings [1] aren't discarded yet and this series is based on a version of those only. The bindings are only used by the last patch, which should not be applied and is only sent for completeness. IOW, this series doesn't have any dependencies and can be merged straight away without waiting for the DT bindings. A brief summary of the problem this series is trying to solve: Some platforms have the capability to configure the performance state of their Power Domains. The performance levels are represented by positive integer values, a lower value represents lower performance state. We decided earlier that we should extend Power Domain framework to support active state power management as well. The power-domains until now were only concentrating on the idle state management of the device and this needs to change in order to reuse the infrastructure of power domains for active state management. The first 5 patches update the PM domain and QoS frameworks to support that and the last one presents the front end interface to it. The V1 series was tested by hacking the OPP core a bit but this one is also tested by Rajendra Nayak (Qcom) on *real* Qualcomm hardware for which this work is done. And most of his feedback is incorporated here. V1->V2: - Based over latest pm/linux-next - It is mostly a resend of what is sent earlier as this series hasn't got any reviews so far and Rafael suggested that its better I resend it. - Only the 4/6 patch got an update, which was shared earlier as reply to V1 as well. It has got several fixes for taking care of power domain hierarchy, etc. -- viresh [1] https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=148154020127722&w=2 Viresh Kumar (6): PM / QOS: Add default case to the switch PM / QOS: Pass request type to dev_pm_qos_{add|remove}_notifier() PM / QOS: Add 'performance' request PM / domain: Register for PM QOS performance notifier PM / domain: Save/restore performance state at runtime suspend/resume PM / OPP: Add support to parse domain-performance-state Documentation/power/pm_qos_interface.txt | 11 ++- drivers/base/power/domain.c | 125 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- drivers/base/power/opp/core.c | 75 +++++++++++++++++++ drivers/base/power/opp/debugfs.c | 4 + drivers/base/power/opp/of.c | 44 +++++++++++ drivers/base/power/opp/opp.h | 12 +++ drivers/base/power/qos.c | 74 ++++++++++++++++-- include/linux/pm_domain.h | 6 ++ include/linux/pm_qos.h | 16 +++- 9 files changed, 345 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) -- 2.7.1.410.g6faf27b
