[PATCH v2 2/7] dt-bindings: dvfs: Add RPMI performance service bindings
From: Joshua Yeong
Date: Thu Oct 08 2026 - 05:12:49 EST
Add device tree bindings for the RPMI performance service group based
controller for the supervisor software.
A CPU names its performance domain through "performance-domains". Any
other device names it through "power-domains": the controller is also a
power domain provider, with one power domain per performance domain and
the levels the domain advertises as the performance states of that
power domain.
The RPMI performance service group is defined by the RISC-V Platform
Management Interface (RPMI) specification.

+description: |
+ The RISC-V Platform Management Interface (RPMI) [1] defines a modular and
+ extensible messaging protocol for platform management functions. The supervisor
+ software can send and receive RPMI messages via SBI MPXY extension [2]
+ or via a dedicated supervisor-mode RPMI transport.
+
+ The RPMI specification [1] defines performance service group (performance
+ domain) for accessing and controlling platform-managed performance-related
+ resources, as implemented by a platform microcontroller. Supervisor software
+ can interact with the RPMI performance service group through an SBI MPXY
+ channel or through a dedicated supervisor-mode RPMI transport.
+
+ The node is a performance domain provider. A CPU references its domain
+ through the generic "performance-domains" property described in
+ dvfs/performance-domain.yaml.
+
+ The node can also be a power domain provider, with one power domain for each
+ performance domain. Any other device that runs in one of the domains
+ references it through "power-domains", and each level the domain advertises
+ is a performance state of that power domain.
+
+ For example, with the provider labelled "performance", a CPU that runs in
+ domain 0 and a device that runs in domain 1 reference their domains as:
+
+ cpu@0 {
+ ...
+ performance-domains = <&performance 0>;
+ };
+
+ gpu@40000000 {
+ ...
+ power-domains = <&performance 1>;
+ };
