So at least the interface stays symmetric and can be easily extended if any future partitions have similar characteristics as the GPU one.> > > > Other comments inline. > > > > Regards, > > Lucas > > > >> --- > >> drivers/soc/tegra/pmc.c | 34 +++++++++++++++++++++++----------- > >> include/soc/tegra/pmc.h | 2 ++ > >> 2 files changed, 25 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) > >> > >> diff --git a/drivers/soc/tegra/pmc.c b/drivers/soc/tegra/pmc.c > >> index a2c0ceb95f8f..7798c530ead1 100644 > >> --- a/drivers/soc/tegra/pmc.c > >> +++ b/drivers/soc/tegra/pmc.c > >> @@ -225,17 +225,6 @@ int tegra_powergate_remove_clamping(int id) > >> return -EINVAL; > >> > >> /* > >> - * The Tegra124 GPU has a separate register (with different semantics) > >> - * to remove clamps. > >> - */ > >> - if (tegra_get_chip_id() == TEGRA124) { > >> - if (id == TEGRA_POWERGATE_3D) { > >> - tegra_pmc_writel(0, GPU_RG_CNTRL); > >> - return 0; > >> - } > >> - } > >> - > >> - /* > >> * Tegra 2 has a bug where PCIE and VDE clamping masks are > >> * swapped relatively to the partition ids > >> */ > >> @@ -253,6 +242,29 @@ int tegra_powergate_remove_clamping(int id) > >> EXPORT_SYMBOL(tegra_powergate_remove_clamping); > >> > >> /** > >> + * tegra_powergate_gpu_set_clamping - control GPU-SOC clamps > >> + * > >> + * The post-Tegra114 chips have a separate rail gating register to configure > >> + * clamps. > >> + * > >> + * @assert: true to assert clamp, and false to remove > >> + */ > >> +int tegra_powergate_gpu_set_clamping(bool assert) > > Those functions with a bool parameter to set/unset something are really > > annoying.

What is the Tegra interconnect? According to the TRM the Tegra contains some standard AXI <-> AHB <-> APB bridges. That a read is needed to assure the write is posted to the APB bus seems to imply that there is some write buffering in one of those bridges. Can we get this documented somewhere? And isn't it needed for the other partition ungating function too then? Regards, Lucas

The APBDEV_PMC_REMOVE_CLAMPING_CMD_0 is only used for deassertion. If we have any future partitions that can be asserted by SW like GPU, we can improve the interface then.> >>> Other comments inline. >>> >>> Regards, >>> Lucas >>> >>>> --- >>>> drivers/soc/tegra/pmc.c | 34 +++++++++++++++++++++++----------- >>>> include/soc/tegra/pmc.h | 2 ++ >>>> 2 files changed, 25 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) >>>> >>>> diff --git a/drivers/soc/tegra/pmc.c b/drivers/soc/tegra/pmc.c >>>> index a2c0ceb95f8f..7798c530ead1 100644 >>>> --- a/drivers/soc/tegra/pmc.c >>>> +++ b/drivers/soc/tegra/pmc.c >>>> @@ -225,17 +225,6 @@ int tegra_powergate_remove_clamping(int id) >>>> return -EINVAL; >>>> >>>> /* >>>> - * The Tegra124 GPU has a separate register (with different semantics) >>>> - * to remove clamps. >>>> - */ >>>> - if (tegra_get_chip_id() == TEGRA124) { >>>> - if (id == TEGRA_POWERGATE_3D) { >>>> - tegra_pmc_writel(0, GPU_RG_CNTRL); >>>> - return 0; >>>> - } >>>> - } >>>> - >>>> - /* >>>> * Tegra 2 has a bug where PCIE and VDE clamping masks are >>>> * swapped relatively to the partition ids >>>> */ >>>> @@ -253,6 +242,29 @@ int tegra_powergate_remove_clamping(int id) >>>> EXPORT_SYMBOL(tegra_powergate_remove_clamping); >>>> >>>> /** >>>> + * tegra_powergate_gpu_set_clamping - control GPU-SOC clamps >>>> + * >>>> + * The post-Tegra114 chips have a separate rail gating register to configure >>>> + * clamps. >>>> + * >>>> + * @assert: true to assert clamp, and false to remove >>>> + */ >>>> +int tegra_powergate_gpu_set_clamping(bool assert) >>> Those functions with a bool parameter to set/unset something are really >>> annoying.

It would be nice if this could be documented either in the next version of the TRM or as a public Appnote. Thanks, Lucas
