Subject[PATCH v3 0/3] Dynamic power model from device tree
Date
Hi,

This patchset adds support to build a single-coefficient dynamic power
model for a CPU. The model is used by the CPU cooling device to
provide an estimate of power consumption and also translate allocated
power to performance cap.

Patch 1 extends the CPU nodes binding to provide an optional dynamic
power coefficient which can be used to create a dynamic power model
for the CPUs. This model is used to constrain device power consumption
(using power_allocator governor) when the system is thermally
constrained.

Patches 2-3 extends the cpufreq-dt and arm_big_little driver to
register cpu cooling devices with the dynamic coefficient when
provided.

The patches were previously posted as part of [0][1]. Since the last
posting Mediatek platform 8173 is also building on these bindings to
build the power model.

Feedback on the bindings would be particularly appreciated.

Thanks,
Punit
