| * Generic PM domains |
| |
| System on chip designs are often divided into multiple PM domains that can be |
| used for power gating of selected IP blocks for power saving by reduced leakage |
| current. |
| |
| This device tree binding can be used to bind PM domain consumer devices with |
| their PM domains provided by PM domain providers. A PM domain provider can be |
| represented by any node in the device tree and can provide one or more PM |
| domains. A consumer node can refer to the provider by a phandle and a set of |
| phandle arguments (so called PM domain specifiers) of length specified by the |
| #power-domain-cells property in the PM domain provider node. |
| |
| ==PM domain providers== |
| |
| Required properties: |
| - #power-domain-cells : Number of cells in a PM domain specifier; |
| Typically 0 for nodes representing a single PM domain and 1 for nodes |
| providing multiple PM domains (e.g. power controllers), but can be any value |
| as specified by device tree binding documentation of particular provider. |
| |
| Example: |
| |
| power: power-controller@12340000 { |
| compatible = "foo,power-controller"; |
| reg = <0x12340000 0x1000>; |
| #power-domain-cells = <1>; |
| }; |
| |
| The node above defines a power controller that is a PM domain provider and |
| expects one cell as its phandle argument. |
| |
| ==PM domain consumers== |
| |
| Required properties: |
| - power-domains : A phandle and PM domain specifier as defined by bindings of |
| the power controller specified by phandle. |
| |
| Example: |
| |
| leaky-device@12350000 { |
| compatible = "foo,i-leak-current"; |
| reg = <0x12350000 0x1000>; |
| power-domains = <&power 0>; |
| }; |
| |
| The node above defines a typical PM domain consumer device, which is located |
| inside a PM domain with index 0 of a power controller represented by a node |
| with the label "power". |
