+RPMH RSC:
+------------
+
+Resource Power Manager Hardened (RPMH) is the mechanism for communicating with
+the hardened resource accelerators on Qualcomm SoCs. Requests to the resources
+can be written to the Trigger Command Set (TCS) registers and using a (addr,
+val) pair and triggered. Messages in the TCS are then sent in sequence over an
+internal bus.
+
+The hardware block (Direct Resource Voter or DRV) is a part of the h/w entity
+(Resource State Coordinator a.k.a RSC) that can handle multiple sleep and
+active/wake resource requests. Multiple such DRVs can exist in a SoC and can
+be written to from Linux. The structure of each DRV follows the same template
+with a few variations that are captured by the properties here.
+
+A TCS may be triggered from Linux or triggered by the F/W after all the CPUs
+have powered off to facilitate idle power saving. TCS could be classified as -
+
+ SLEEP /* Triggered by F/W */
+ WAKE /* Triggered by F/W */
+ ACTIVE /* Triggered by Linux */
+ CONTROL /* Triggered by F/W */
+
+The order in which they are described in the DT, should match the hardware
+configuration.
+
+Requests can be made for the state of a resource, when the subsystem is active
+or idle. When all subsystems like Modem, GPU, CPU are idle, the resource state
+will be an aggregate of the sleep votes from each of those subsystems. Clients
+may request a sleep value for their shared resources in addition to the active
+mode requests.
+
+Properties:
+
+- compatible:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <string>
+ Definition: Should be "qcom,rpmh-rsc".
+
+- reg:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
+ Definition: The first register specifies the base address of the
+ DRV(s). The number of DRVs in the dependent on the RSC.
+ The tcs-offset specifies the start address of the
+ TCS in the DRVs.
+
+- reg-names:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <string>
+ Definition: Maps the register specified in the reg property. Must be
+ "drv-0", "drv-1", "drv-2" etc and "tcs-offset". The
+
+- interrupts:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <prop-encoded-interrupt>
+ Definition: The interrupt that trips when a message complete/response
+ is received for this DRV from the accelerators.
+
+- qcom,drv-id:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <u32>
+ Definition: The id of the DRV in the RSC block that will be used by
+ this controller.
+
+- qcom,tcs-config:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
+ Definition: The tuple defining the configuration of TCS.
+ Must have 2 cells which describe each TCS type.
+ <type number_of_tcs>.
+ The order of the TCS must match the hardware
+ configuration.
+ - Cell #1 (TCS Type): TCS types to be specified -
+ SLEEP_TCS
+ WAKE_TCS
+ ACTIVE_TCS
+ CONTROL_TCS
+ - Cell #2 (Number of TCS): <u32>
+
+- label:
+ Usage: optional
+ Value type: <string>
+ Definition: Name for the RSC. The name would be used in trace logs.
+
+Drivers that want to use the RSC to communicate with RPMH must specify their
+bindings as child nodes of the RSC controllers they wish to communicate with.
+
+Example 1:
+
+For a TCS whose RSC base address is is 0x179C0000 and is at a DRV id of 2, the
+register offsets for DRV2 start at 0D00, the register calculations are like
+this -
+DRV0: 0x179C0000
+DRV2: 0x179C0000 + 0x10000 = 0x179D0000
+DRV2: 0x179C0000 + 0x10000 * 2 = 0x179E0000
+TCS-OFFSET: 0xD00
+
+ apps_rsc: rsc@179e000 {
+ label = "apps_rsc";
+ compatible = "qcom,rpmh-rsc";
+ reg = <0x179c0000 0x10000>, <0x179d0000 0x10000>,
+ <0x179e0000 0x10000>, <0xd00 0>;
+ reg-names = "drv-0", "drv-1", "drv-2", "tcs-offset";
+ interrupts = <GIC_SPI 5 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
+ qcom,drv-id = <2>;
+ qcom,tcs-config = <SLEEP_TCS 3>,
+ <WAKE_TCS 3>,
+ <ACTIVE_TCS 2>,
+ <CONTROL_TCS 1>;
+ };
+
+Example 2:
+
+For a TCS whose RSC base address is 0xAF20000 and is at DRV id of 0, the
+register offsets for DRV0 start at 01C00, the register calculations are like
+this -
+DRV0: 0xAF20000
+TCS-OFFSET: 0x1C00
+
+ disp_rsc: rsc@af20000 {
+ label = "disp_rsc";
+ compatible = "qcom,rpmh-rsc";
+ reg = <0xaf20000 0x10000>, <0x1c00 0>;
+ reg-names = "drv-0", "tcs-offset";
+ interrupts = <GIC_SPI 129 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
+ qcom,drv-id = <0>;
+ qcom,tcs-config = <SLEEP_TCS 1>,
+ <WAKE_TCS 1>,
+ <ACTIVE_TCS 0>,
+ <CONTROL_TCS 0>;
