[PATCH v5 0/3] Dynamic power model from device tree

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,

This patchset adds support to build a single-coefficient dynamic power
model for a CPU. The model is used by the CPU cooling device to
provide an estimate of power consumption and also translate allocated
power to performance cap.

Changes from previous posting -
v4 -> v5
Updated tags across the patches
arm_big_little: Do not register cooling devices when in IKS

v3 -> v4:
arm_big_little: Migrated to using static arrays
arm_big_little: Updated Kconfig to support building thermal as module

Patch 1 extends the CPU nodes binding to provide an optional dynamic
power coefficient which can be used to create a dynamic power model
for the CPUs. This model is used to constrain device power consumption
(using power_allocator governor) when the system is thermally
constrained.

Patches 2-3 extends the cpufreq-dt and arm_big_little driver to
register cpu cooling devices with the dynamic coefficient when
provided.

The patches were previously posted at [0][1][2][3]. Mediatek platform
8173 builds on these bindings to build a power model.

Thanks,
Punit
