Add coupling for these regulators, as VSRAM_OTHER is used to power the
GPU SRAM, and they have a strict voltage output relation to satisfy in
order to ensure GPU stable operation.
While at it, also add voltage constraint overrides for the GPU SRAM
regulator "mt6359_vsram_others" so that we stay in a safe range of
0.75-0.80V.

Looking again at the downstream OPP table, it seems there's no voltage
difference requirement. It only needs V_SRAM >= V_GPU. Same applies to
MT8195. Looks like only MT8183 and MT8186 need V_SRAM - V_GPU >= 10000.
On MT8195 we don't need any regulator coupling. There, the GPU-SRAM voltage
is fixed at .. I don't remember, 0.7V? - anyway - MT8195 doesn't need to
scale the vsram.
Looks like it's fixed at 0.75V. I guess we're Ok on MT8195.
Would setting max-spread to 0 work? I ask because with both regulator's
maximum voltage set to 0.8V, there's no way we can reach the highest
OPP.
No that doesn't work. I can raise the Vgpu max voltage to 0.88V to solve the
issue right here and right now, or we can leave it like that and revisit it
later.
I would at this point go for setting mt6315_7_vbuck1's max-microvolt to
880000, as this is the maximum recommended voltage for the GPU as per the
MT8192 datasheet, it would also make sense as we would be still describing
the hardware in a correct manner.
What do you think?
If it's just to accommodate the coupler stuff, I say just set the maximum
at the lowest possible setting that satisfies the coupler constraint and
granularity of the regulator. The regulator does 6250 uV steps, so I guess
we could set the maximum at 812500 uV, with a comment stating the nominal
voltage of 800000 uV and that the extra 12500 uV is to workaround coupler
limitations.
Does that sound OK?
Even without changing anything, the coupler seems to work OK:
vsram_others 1 1 0 normal 800mV
0mA 750mV 800mV
10006000.syscon:power-controller-domain 1
0mA 0mV 0mV
Vgpu 2 2 0 normal 800mV
0mA 606mV 800mV
13000000.gpu-mali 1
0mA 800mV 800mV
10006000.syscon:power-controller-domain 1
0mA 0mV 0mV
Am I missing something?
I don't think you are... I may be getting confused by all of the changesets
that I'm pushing at once.
Hence, is this commit fine as it is?
