qup-i2c devices on sc7180 are clocked with a fixed clock (19.2 MHz) Though qup-i2c does not support DVFS, it still needs to vote for a performance state on 'CX' to satisfy the 19.2 Mhz clock frequency requirement.Sounds good, but...quoted
Use 'required-opps' to pass this information from device tree, and also add the power-domains property to specify the CX power-domain...is the required-opps really needed with my rpmhpd patch in place?Yes? Because rpmhpd_opp_low_svs is not the lowest performance state for CX.On e.g. sm8250 the first available non-zero corner presented in cmd-db is low_svs.
Indeed. On sc7180 it's not the first non-zero corner. I suppose retention for CX isn't actually used when the SoC is awake so your rpmhpd patch is putting in a vote for something that doesn't do anything at runtime for CX? I imagine that rpmh only sets the aggregate corner to retention when the whole SoC is suspended/sleeping, otherwise things wouldn't go very well. Similarly, min_svs may be VDD minimization? If so, those first two states are basically states that shouldn't be used at runtime, almost like sleep states.
And if this (which?) clock requires a higher corner than the lowest possible in order to tick at this "lowest" frequency, I'm certainly interested in some more details.
