very minor nit, it would be nice to at least preserve the gist of the
"which is fine" (ie. some variation of "this is an optional thing and
things won't catch fire without it" ;-))
(which is, I believe, is true, hopefully Akhil could confirm.. if not
we should have a harder dependency on CONFIG_NVMEM..)
IIRC, if the gpu opp table in the DT uses the 'opp-supported-hw'
property,
we will see some error during boot up if we don't call
dev_pm_opp_set_supported_hw(). So calling "nvmem_cell_get(dev,
"speed_bin")"
is a way to test this.
If there is no other harm, we can put a hard dependency on
CONFIG_NVMEM.
I'm not sure if we want to go this far given the squishiness about
module
dependencies. As far as I know we are the only driver that uses this
seriously
on QCOM SoCs and this is only needed for certain targets. I don't
know if we
want to force every target to build NVMEM and QFPROM on our behalf.
But maybe
I'm just saying that because Kconfig dependencies tend to break my
brain (and
then Arnd has to send a patch to fix it).
Hmm, good point.. looks like CONFIG_NVMEM itself doesn't have any
other dependencies, so I suppose it wouldn't be the end of the world
to select that.. but I guess we don't want to require QFPROM
I guess at the end of the day, what is the failure mode if you have a
speed-bin device, but your kernel config misses QFPROM (and possibly
NVMEM)? If the result is just not having the highest clk rate(s)
Atleast on sc7180's gpu, using an unsupported FMAX breaks gmu. It won't
be very obvious what went wrong when this happens!
Ugg, ok..
I suppose we could select NVMEM, but not QFPROM, and then the case
where QFPROM is not enabled on platforms that have the speed-bin field
in DT will fail gracefully and all other platforms would continue on
happily?
BR,
-R
Sounds good to me.
You probably should do a quick test with NVMEM enabled but QFPROM
disabled to confirm my theory, but I *think* that should work
BR,
-R
I tried it on an sc7180 device. The suggested combo (CONFIG_NVMEM + no
CONFIG_QCOM_QFPROM) makes the gpu probe fail with error "failed to read
speed-bin. Some OPPs may not be supported by hardware". This is good
enough clue for the developer that he should fix the broken speedbin
detection.
Ok, great.. then sounds like selecting NVMEM is a good approach
btw, did anyone ever send a patch to select NVMEM? I'm not seeing one
but I could be overlooking something
I thought Jonathan would send it as the discussion was going on in his
patch. No problem, I will send it out. :)
-Akhil.
Judging by the amount of issues surrounding speed-bin, I might have a
bold suggestion to revert these patches for now and get them once all
the issues are sorted, so that we'd have a single working commit
instead of scattered patch series breaking git bisect, having bad
side-effects on non-sc7180 platforms, etc.
We do really need some pre-merge CI like we have on the mesa side of
things (and we at least have 845 devices in our CI farm, but it would
be useful to add more generations).. but other than the config issue,
I *think* this fixes the last of the speedbin fallout?

Planning to include that in a -fixes pull req in the next day or two.
(And please have a look at msm-next-staging and let me know if you see
anything other fixes that would be good to get in, speedbin related or
otherwise.)
