In general we use subnodes of PM domain providers to represent the topology of PM domains (subdomains), this is something different, which I guess is fine. I assume the #cooling-cells is here tells us this is not a PM domain provider, but a "cooling device provider"? Also, I wonder if it would be fine to specify "power-domains" here, rather than using "name" as I think that is kind of awkward!? > Example: rpmh power domain controller and OPP table > > #include <dt-bindings/power/qcom-rpmhpd.h> > -- > 2.1.4 > Kind regards Uffe

I am using this to match against the genpd names defined in the provider driver. Warm Regards Thara

From Linux point of view, it means you can use dev_pm_domain_attach() to hook up the corresponding device with the PM domain. Using "power-domain-names" is just to allow to specify a name rather than an index, which makes sense if there is more than one index. Perhaps you can state that the "power-domain-names" should be there anyway, to be a little bit future proof if ever multiple index (multiple PM domains). Kind regards Uffe

But won't this look funny in DT ? The provider node will have a sub node with a power domain referencing to itself Like below: Is this ok ? rpmhpd: power-controller { compatible = "qcom,sdm845-rpmhpd"; #power-domain-cells = <1>; ... ... mx_cdev: mx { #cooling-cells = <2>; power-domains = <&rpmhpd SDM845_MX>; }; > > From Linux point of view, it means you can use dev_pm_domain_attach() > to hook up the corresponding device with the PM domain. Yes. Only the thermal framework does not populate cdev->dev->of_node. But it should be a trivial thing to fix it. Also if I end up creating a separate device, it should not matter. > > Using "power-domain-names" is just to allow to specify a name rather > than an index, which makes sense if there is more than one index. > Perhaps you can state that the "power-domain-names" should be there > anyway, to be a little bit future proof if ever multiple index > (multiple PM domains). > > Kind regards > Uffe >

Isn't it what's in the power domain that's the cooling device. A CPU power domain is not a cooling device, the CPU is. Or we wouldn't make a clock a cooling device, but what the clock drives. Rob

Well, I don't think that's entirely correct description either. As I see it, it's really the actual PM domain (that manages voltages for a power island), that needs to stay in full power state and increase its voltage level, as to warm up some of the silicon. It's not a regular device, but more a characteristics of how the PM domain can be used. Kind regards Uffe

I think I'd just expect the power domain provider to know which domains to power on then. Rob
