Some target systems allow multiple resources to be managed by firmware.
On these targets, tasks related to clocks, regulators, resets, and
interconnects can be delegated to the firmware, while the remaining
responsibilities are handled by Linux.

To support the management of partial resources in Linux and leave the rest
to firmware, multiple power domains are introduced. Each power domain can
manage one or more resources, depending on the specific use case.

These power domains handle SCMI calls to the firmware, enabling the
activation and deactivation of firmware-managed resources.

Please drop all redundant descriptions. Adding them is not even related
to this patch.


Thanks Krzysztof for the super quick response !
Sure. will drop the description for power-domain

How is this related to fw-managed? I fail to see it. Don't mix
independent problems in one patch.


Some of the the resources like clocks, regulators, etc will be
controlled by the firmware instead of OS. However, some resources
still will be controlled by OS (interrupts for example).

So, to support the management of partial resources in Linux, and
offload the other resource management to firmware, multiple power
domains are introduced. They will be corresponding to different
hw blocks.

Do you suggest splitting the addition of power-domain-names and
addition of fw-managed property in separate patches for bindings!

+  qmp,fw-managed:

Please do not upstream vendor code directly, but perform basic
adjustment to upstream Linux kernel. There is no such company as gmp.

Run this first through your internal review process.


This property is newly introduced for the qmp superspeed phy and
similar dt properties are introduced for hsphy and dwc3 qcom
controller glue layer driver. It will govern the suspend/ resume
of the resources (by firmware or OS) as required.

So that's your answer to "there is no such company as gmp"? It's not
relevant at all.

Please run it through internal review first.


Hi Sriram,

 QMP indicates the driver name "QMP Phy" (for super speed mode of operation), not the company name. If this property is for identification of fw management to be done / (or not to be done) in QMP Phy, then please rename is appropriately. Check how other properties are defined in the QMP bindings and add "qcom" at beginning preferably. For reference as to how properties were added to femto phy driver: [1].

Thanks for the references Krzysztof/Krishna.
I got suggestion from Dmitry on the use of the
property too. Indeed we will be the scmi based
clock/ PD management on SA8775. So, we will
introduce a new compatible string and take the
decision in driver accordingly.

Krishna,
