3 System on chip designs are often divided into multiple PM domains that can be
4 used for power gating of selected IP blocks for power saving by reduced leakage
7 This device tree binding can be used to bind PM domain consumer devices with
8 their PM domains provided by PM domain providers. A PM domain provider can be
9 represented by any node in the device tree and can provide one or more PM
10 domains. A consumer node can refer to the provider by a phandle and a set of
11 phandle arguments (so called PM domain specifiers) of length specified by the
12 #power-domain-cells property in the PM domain provider node.
14 ==PM domain providers==
17 - #power-domain-cells : Number of cells in a PM domain specifier;
18 Typically 0 for nodes representing a single PM domain and 1 for nodes
19 providing multiple PM domains (e.g. power controllers), but can be any value
20 as specified by device tree binding documentation of particular provider.
23 - power-domains : A phandle and PM domain specifier as defined by bindings of
24 the power controller specified by phandle.
25 Some power domains might be powered from another power domain (or have
26 other hardware specific dependencies). For representing such dependency
27 a standard PM domain consumer binding is used. When provided, all domains
28 created by the given provider should be subdomains of the domain
29 specified by this binding. More details about power domain specifier are
30 available in the next section.
34 power: power-controller@12340000 {
35 compatible = "foo,power-controller";
36 reg = <0x12340000 0x1000>;
37 #power-domain-cells = <1>;
40 The node above defines a power controller that is a PM domain provider and
41 expects one cell as its phandle argument.
45 parent: power-controller@12340000 {
46 compatible = "foo,power-controller";
47 reg = <0x12340000 0x1000>;
48 #power-domain-cells = <1>;
51 child: power-controller@12340000 {
52 compatible = "foo,power-controller";
53 reg = <0x12341000 0x1000>;
54 power-domains = <&parent 0>;
55 #power-domain-cells = <1>;
58 The nodes above define two power controllers: 'parent' and 'child'.
59 Domains created by the 'child' power controller are subdomains of '0' power
60 domain provided by the 'parent' power controller.
62 ==PM domain consumers==
65 - power-domains : A phandle and PM domain specifier as defined by bindings of
66 the power controller specified by phandle.
70 leaky-device@12350000 {
71 compatible = "foo,i-leak-current";
72 reg = <0x12350000 0x1000>;
73 power-domains = <&power 0>;
76 The node above defines a typical PM domain consumer device, which is located
77 inside a PM domain with index 0 of a power controller represented by a node
78 with the label "power".
