This patchset support devicetree and use common ppmu driver instead of
individual code of exynos4_bus.c to remove duplicate code. Also this patchset
get the resources for busfreq from dt data by using DT helper function.
- PPMU register address
- PPMU clock
- Regulator for INT/MIF block

This patchset use SET_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS macro intead of legacy method.
To remove power-leakage in suspend state, before entering suspend state,
disable ppmu clocks.

Changes from v1:
- Add exynos4_bus.txt documentation for devicetree guide
- Fix probe failure if CONFIG_PM_OPP is disabled
- Fix typo and resource leak(regulator/clock/memory) when happening probe failure
- Add additionally comment for PPMU usage instead of previous PPC
- Split separate patch to remove ambiguous of patch

I have reviewed this series and there are several comments that I'd like to ask you to address. Please see my replies to particular patches.

OK, I'll fix it about your comment.


However, this driver, even after applying your series, is still far from a state that would allow it to be enabled. The most important issue is direct access to CMU registers, based on static mapping, which is not allowed on multiplatform kernels and multiplatform-awareness for drivers is currently a must.

To allow this driver to be enabled, it needs to be converted to use common clock framework functions to configure all clocks, e.g. clk_set_rate(), clk_set_parent(), etc., without accessing CMU registers directly.

Of course as long as the driver is effectively unusable, to keep development, we can proceed with refactoring it step-by-step and your series would be basically the first step, after addressing the review comments.


I agree your opinion. When setting frequency of memory bus, this driver access
directly to CMU registers. I know it should be modified by using common clk
framework as your comment.

I'll send patch set about using common clk framework instead of CMU register
based on static mapping after finished the review and apply of this patch set as next step.

OK. I'm looking forward for patches sorting this out.

Best regards,
Tomasz
