Controllers may be in 'solver' state, where they could be in autonomous
mode executing low power modes for their hardware and as such are not
available for sending active votes. Device driver may notify RPMH API
that the controller is in solver mode and when in such mode, disallow
requests from platform drivers for state change using the RSC.

Maybe I'm being dense, but I don't really get it. So in solver mode,
the whole RSC is just disabled? Solver mode just figures out what
state to put the hardware in without needing all these votes? Sounds
cool, why doesn't it just do that all the time? Can you describe an
example usecase of a real client that would use solver mode, and how
that works?

You are right. Solver just figures out the state to put the hardware in
for a short period of time. Usually when a usecase runs and the hw block
can periodically sleep while a partner/client is busy processing the
data, the solver can take care of figuring out the next wakeup and
choose the best low power mode for the hardware block and reduce the
votes. But all that have to be pre-programmed into the hardware. The
display RSC is a good example. A smart display controller can pick up
the data and show it on the screen and sleep until the next data needs
to be sent. The driver can configure the active and therefore the wake
values of the bus clocks and the sleep value, it can run without CPU
intervention. The display driver makes the decision to put the block in
solver mode and informs the RPMH block that the hardware is not to be
used for active requests or writing any sleep/wake votes.

Coordinating that with the drivers is a major pain point involving
multiple drivers. To avoid that, we let the RPMH know that the RSC is
running in solver mode and will ignore voting that may happen from
drivers.

Thanks,
Lina

I don't see you actually telling the controller to be in solver mode.
So I guess this is more informing the rpmh driver that something has
happened behind its back? Maybe the example will help me understand
this.
