[PATCH V5 0/2] arm_scmi: vendors: Qualcomm Generic Vendor Extensions

[Sibi Sankar]

The QCOM SCMI vendor protocol provides a generic way of exposing a
number of Qualcomm SoC specific features (like memory bus scaling)
through a mixture of pre-determined algorithm strings and param_id
pairs hosted on the SCMI controller. Introduce a client driver that
uses the memlat algorithm string hosted on QCOM SCMI Vendor Protocol
to detect memory latency workloads and control frequency/level of
the various memory buses (DDR/LLCC/DDR_QOS).

QCOM SCMI Generic Vendor protocol background:
It was found that a lot of the vendor protocol used internally was
for debug/internal development purposes that would either be super
SoC specific or had to be disabled because of some features being
fused out during production. This lead to a large number of vendor
protocol numbers being quickly consumed and were never released
either. Using a generic vendor protocol with functionality abstracted
behind algorithm strings gave us the flexibility of allowing such
functionality exist during initial development/debugging while
still being able to expose functionality like memlat once they have
matured enough. The param-ids are certainly expected to act as ABI
for algorithms strings like MEMLAT.

Thanks in advance for taking time to review the series.

V4:
* Splitting the series into vendor protocol and memlat client.
  Also the move the memlat client implementation back to RFC
  due to multiple opens.
* Use common xfer helper to avoid code duplication [Dmitry]
* Update enum documentation without duplicate enum info [Dmitry]
* Update the protol attributes doc with more information. [Cristian]

V3:
* Restructure the bindings to mimic IMX [Christian]
* Add documentation for the qcom generic vendor protocol [Christian/Sudeep]
* Pick up Rb tag and fixup/re-order elements of the vendor ops [Christian]
* Follow naming convention and folder structure used by IMX
* Add missing enum in the vendor protocol and fix documentation [Konrad]
* Add missing enum in the scmi memlat driver and fix documentation [Konrad]
* Add checks for max memory and monitor [Shivnandan]
* Fix typo from START_TIMER -> STOP_TIMER [Shivnandan]
* Make populate_physical_mask func to void [Shivnandan]
* Remove unecessary zero set [Shivnandan]
* Use __free(device node) in init_cpufreq-memfreqmap [Christian/Konrad]
* Use sdev->dev.of_node directly [Christian]
* use return dev_err_probe in multiple places [Christian]

V2:
* Drop container dvfs memlat container node. [Rob]
* Move scmi-memlat.yaml to protocol level given that a lot of vendors might end up
* using the same protocol number. [Rob]
* Replace qcom,cpulist with the standard "cpus" property. [Rob]
* Fix up compute-type/ipm-ceil required. [Rob]
* Make driver changes to the accommodate bindings changes. [Rob]
* Minor fixups in subjects/coverletter.
* Minor style fixes in dts.

V1:
* Add missing bindings for the protocol. [Konrad/Dmitry]
* Use alternate bindings. [Dmitry/Konrad]
* Rebase on top of Cristian's "SCMI multiple vendor protocol support" series. [Cristian]
* Add more documentation wherever possible. [Sudeep]
* Replace pr_err/info with it's dev equivalents.
* Mixed tabs and initialization cleanups in the memlat driver. [Konrad]
* Commit message update for the memlat driver. [Dmitry]
* Cleanups/Fixes suggested for the client driver. [Dmitry/Konrad/Cristian]
* Use opp-tables instead of memfreq-tbl. [Dmitry/Konrad]
* Detect physical cpu to deal with variants with reduced cpu count.
* Add support for DDR_QOS mem_type.
