This is the most important bus in the Exynos5x SoC. The whole communication inside SoC does through that bus (apart from direct requests from CCI to DRAM controller). It is also modeled as a master bus in devfreq framework. It is also the only one OPP table throughout other buses which has voltage values. The devfreq software controls the speed of that bus and other buses. The other buses follows the rate of the master. There is only one regulator. The old lowest OPP had pair 925mV, 84MHz which is enough fors/lowest/slowest/please see belowquoted

this frequency. However, due to the fact that the other buses follows the WCORE bus by taking the OPP from their table with the same id, e.g. opp02, the children frequency should be stable with the set voltage. It could cause random faults very hard to debug. Thus, the patch removes the lowest OPP to make other buses' lowest OPPss/lowest/slowest/Actually, I have double checked that, because we always used this terminology: low OPP, high OPP, lower OPPs, higher OPPs. I can change it here for you, but I think this is not something that people are used to. Please check EAS pdf documentation or this file: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/scheduler/sched-energy.txt i.e. "running at a lower OPP" or "high OPPs", "lowest OPPs".
Hmm, indeed, you're right. Don't change it then. Best regards, Krzysztof _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
