What about getting this from the OPP table instead? There is no point adding
similar tables for a device.

Hi Viresh,

Thanks for having a look at it.

I'm not sure if that would be flexible enough to meet the requirement:
power for each OPP might be different in one board vs. other board.

Power can be different because of static power, which might vary due to
different temperature that the SoC operates at a particular OPP. It can
be due to: better heat sink (or no at all like on dev board), bigger PCB
with fat copper layers, different location of hot devices (like PMIC) on 
the PCB, missing some hot devices on the PCB (fast charger), case, etc.

The 'advanced' EM and this DT array allows to provide avg power from
measurements for a particular board and for each OPP independently.

AFAIK the OPP definition is more SoC specific. I'm particularly
interested in this SC7180 SoC and it's GPU power [1]. There is
also a nice OPP definition in that node.
As you can see there is one SoC file and quite a few boards next to
it. Some of them have a decent thermal design (inside Chromebook) but
some are 'just' dev boards. The power would be different for those
boards.

Similar issue would be e.g. for Rk3399 SoC (Chromebook, Pine64, IoT and
some dev boards).

IMO the OPP table might be to much hassle and heavy for those boards.

Don't DT files overload values from board files all the time ? Why wouldn't the
same apply for OPP table as well ?

> AFAIK the OPP definition is more SoC specific.

This isn't about OPP definition as well, but just that if DT allows you to
override or not. I think it will.

In that SoC and family of the boards, there are no such examples.
It used to be popular in arm32 boards, but I'm not sure nowadays.

Redefining the whole OPP table, when the freq, voltage, interconnect,
and other old entries don't change isn't too messy?

As I said, I would prefer something lightweight, not redefining all
stuff from OPP in every board file.

Here is one I think.

arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mq-librem5-r3.dts

I think it is still common, not with OPPs though.

I think you misunderstood what I said. The common part of the OPP table should
stay in the central .dtsi file. The dts files though, should just add the power
specific values to the existing OPP table.

OK, I misunderstood that. If that is possible than it would
be great. I'm assuming you are taking about OPP v2. I can relax the
requirement that I need to provide this DT-EM for arm32, since they
have a legacy OPP v1.

So we might have an entry similar that interconnect for the
bandwidth, but for us it would be 'opp-power-uw'?

Let me have a look about some examples how that could be just
added/extended in the opp table but from board file.
If you have some handy link, I would be grateful.

Yes.

OPP V2 or V1 doesn't have anything to do with arm32/64. Anyone can implement the
newer V2 version (basically whoever wants something more than a simple freq/volt
pair). So arm32 SoC's that want to use the DT-EM thing, should migrate to
opp-v2, we can't support that with opp-v1.

I will rather say similar to opp-microvolt or opp-microamp, so it better be
opp-microwatt.

The file I provided earlier:

arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mq-librem5-r3.dts

This is updating opp-microvolt property of a single OPP node in the whole table.
Pretty much like this only.

Thanks, I'll use that example for the v2

This new dt bindings idea is abandoned. We would go for
a new entry in the OPP node: "opp-microwatt".
I've sent a v2.

BTW, I've tried to run this check, but for some reason my python failed
when I tried to upgrade the dtschema:

'Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement 
jsonschema>=4.1.2 (from dtschema)'

It used to work. I'll probaby have to invest more time and figure
out why my pip3 fails.

Lukasz

+description: |+
+  Devices work at specific performance states (frequencies). The power which
+  is used at a given performance state is an important information. A framework
+  which maintains this information is Energy Model. This document defines
+  bindings for these Energy Model performance states applicable across wide
+  range of devices. For illustration purpose, this document uses GPU as a device.
+
+  This binding only supports frequency-power pairs.
