-* Generic OPP Interface
+Generic OPP (Operating Performance Points) Bindings
+----------------------------------------------------
-SoCs have a standard set of tuples consisting of frequency and
-voltage pairs that the device will support per voltage domain. These
-are called Operating Performance Points or OPPs.
+Devices work at voltage-frequency pairs and some implementations have the
+liberty of choosing these pairs. These pairs are called Operating Performance
+Points aka OPPs. This document defines bindings for these OPPs applicable across
+wide range of devices. For illustration purpose, this document uses CPU as a
+device.
+
+
+* Property: operating-points-v2
+
+Devices supporting OPPs must set their "operating-points-v2" property with
+phandle to a OPP descriptor in their DT node. The OPP core will use this phandle
+to find the operating points for the device.
+
+
+* OPP Descriptor Node
+
+This describes the OPPs belonging to a device. This node can have following
+properties:
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Allow OPPs to express their compatibility. It should be:
+ "operating-points-v2".
+- OPP nodes: One or more OPP nodes describing frequency-voltage pairs. Their
+ name isn't significant but their phandles can be used to reference an OPP.
+
+Optional properties:
+- shared-opp: Indicates that device nodes using this OPP descriptor's phandle
+ switch their DVFS state together, i.e. they share clock lines. Missing
+ property means devices have independent clock lines, but they share OPPs.
+
+
+* OPP Node
+
+This defines frequency-voltage pairs along with other related properties.
+
+Required properties:
+- opp-khz: Frequency in kHz
+
+Optional properties:
+- opp-microvolt: voltage in micro Volts. Its an array with size one or three.
+ Single entry is for target voltage and three entries are for (in the specified
+ order) <target min max> voltage.
+- clock-latency-ns: Specifies the maximum possible transition latency (in
+ nanoseconds) for switching to this OPP from any other OPP.
+- opp-next: It contains a list of phandles of other OPPs, to which we can switch
+ directly from this OPP (Explained later with examples). Missing property means
+ no restriction on switching to other OPPs.
+- turbo-mode: Marks the OPP to be used only for turbo modes.
+- status: Marks the node enabled/disabled.
+

+Deprecated Bindings
+-------------------
Properties:
- operating-points: An array of 2-tuples items, and each item consists
Current OPP (Operating performance point) DT bindings are proven to be insufficient at multiple instances. There had been multiple band-aid approaches to get them fixed (The latest one being: http://www.mail-archive.com/devicetree@vger.kernel.org/msg53398.html). For obvious reasons Rob rejected them and shown the right path forward. The shortcomings we are trying to solve here: - Getting clock sharing information between CPUs. Single shared clock vs independent clock per core vs shared clock per cluster. - Support for turbo modes - Support for intermediate frequencies or OPPs we can switch to. - Other per OPP settings: transition latencies, disabled status, etc.? - Expandability of OPPs in future. This patch introduces new bindings "operating-points-v2" to get these problems solved. Refer to the bindings for more details.
