A different dependency should be noted in *this* patch. If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above error(s), then make sure 'yamllint' is installed and dt-schema is up to date: pip3 install dtschema --upgrade Please check and re-submit after running the above command yourself. Note that DT_SCHEMA_FILES can be set to your schema file to speed up checking your schema. However, it must be unset to test all examples with your schema.

The base-commit in the cover letter also points there (although I guess it might be tricky to resolve it reliably for automated testing). Before sending this series I verified that there are no dt_binding_check and dtbs_check warnings or errors when applied to the correct branch. Thanks, Stephan

Then what is rpm-requests? This is the true RPM. It looks like you now duplicate half of it in a node above.

The rpm-proc node represents the RPM hardware block (or perhaps the RPM firmware overall), while rpm-requests is just *one* communication interface provided by the RPM firmware. Here is a rough picture of the RPM "subsystem" I'm trying to describe: +--------------------------------------------+ | RPM subsystem (qcom,rpm-proc) | | | reset | +---------------+ +-----+ +-----+ | --------->| | | MPM | | CPR | ... | IPC interrupts | | ARM Cortex-M3 | +-----+ +-----+ | ----------------->| |--- | | | | +---------------+ |---------------------- | | +---------------+ | | | | Code RAM |--| +------------------+ | | +---------------+ | | | | | +---------------+ | | Message RAM | | | | Data RAM |--|--| | | | +---------------+ | +------------------+ | +--------------------|-----------------------+ v NoC (Somewhat adapted from Figure 8-1 RPM overview in the APQ8016E Technical Reference Manual, but I added some extra stuff.) As you can see neither "SMD" nor "rpm-requests" exist in hardware. Again, it's just one communication protocol implemented by the RPM firmware running on the Cortex-M3 processor, much like a webserver running on a PC. When the SoC is started only the hardware block exists. Usually a component in the boot chain loads firmware into the code/data RAM and then de-asserts the reset line to start the Cortex-M3 processor. This is not guaranteed to happen. For example, I have a special firmware version where the firmware is only loaded but not brought out of reset. In this case Linux is responsible to de-assert the reset line. In follow-up patches I add that to the outer qcom,rpm-proc node: remoteproc { compatible = "qcom,msm8916-rpm-proc", "qcom,rpm-proc"; resets = <&gcc GCC_RPM_RESET>; iommus = <&apps_smmu 0x0040>; smd-edge { /* ... */ rpm-requests { qcom,smd-channels = "rpm_requests"; }; }; }; This reset line cannot be described on the rpm-requests node. Until the firmware is started there is no such thing as "SMD" or "rpm-requests". When the RPM firmware is started it sets up some data structures in the message RAM and then begins serving requests, perhaps like this: +----------------------------------+ | ARM Cortex-M3 | | +------------------------------+ | +--------------------------------+ | | RPM Firmware | | | Message RAM | IPC Interrupt | | +----------------------+ | | | +----------------------------+ | ------------------>| SMD Server | | | | | SMD Data Structures & FIFO | | | | | +--------------+ | | | | | +--------------+ | | | | | | rpm_requests | ... | | | | | | rpm_requests | ... | | | | | +--------------+ | ... | | | | +--------------+ | | | | +----------------------+ | | | +----------------------------+ | | +------------------------------+ | | ... | +----------------------------------+ +--------------------------------+ The "smd-edge" node represents the SMD part and "rpm_requests" is one of the communication channels that can be used to talk to the RPM firmware. Everything below rpm-requests: clocks, regulators, power domains are pure firmware constructions. They do not exist in the RPM hardware block, the firmware just acts as a proxy to collect votes from different clients and then configures the actual hardware. > > > However, SMD/GLINK is just one of the communication channels to the RPM > > firmware.

But they have no relation to the SMD/GLINK channel. To clarify this I extend my picture from above with MPM: +----------------------------------+ | ARM Cortex-M3 | | +------------------------------+ | +--------------------------------+ | | RPM Firmware | | | Message RAM | IPC Interrupt 0 | | +----------------------+ | | | +----------------------------+ | ------------------->| SMD Server | | | | | SMD Data Structures & FIFO | | | | | +--------------+ | | | | | +--------------+ | | | | | | rpm_requests | ... | | | | | | rpm_requests | ... | | | | | +--------------+ | ... | | | | +--------------+ | | | | +----------------------+ | | | +----------------------------+ | IPC Interrupt 1 | | +----------------------+ | | | +----------------------------+ | ------------------->| MPM virtualization |<-----------| MPM register copy (vMPM) | | | | +----------------------+ | | | +----------------------------+ | | +-----------|------------------+ | | ... | +-------------v--------------------+ +--------------------------------+ +--------------+ | MPM Hardware | +--------------+ As you can see, SMD and MPM are siblings. The MPM functionality implemented by the RPM firmware is not a child of the SMD server. It's a bit like a webserver and emailserver running on the same PC. Two separate services accessible via different ports and protocols. Thanks, Stephan NOTE: All of this is just my interpretation based on the public hints that exist. I have no access to internal documentation or source code that would prove that all of this is correct.

On Qualcomm platforms, most subsystems (e.g. audio/modem DSP) are described as remote processors in the device tree, with a dedicated node where properties and services related to them can be described. The Resource Power Manager (RPM) is also such a subsystem, with a remote processor that is running a special firmware. Unfortunately, the RPM never got a dedicated node representing it properly in the device tree. Most of the RPM services are described below a top-level /smd or /rpm-glink node. However, SMD/GLINK is just one of the communication channels to the RPM firmware. For example, the MPM interrupt functionality provided by the RPM does not use SMD/GLINK but writes directly to a special memory region allocated by the RPM firmware in combination with a mailbox. Currently there is no good place in the device tree to describe this functionality. It doesn't belong below SMD/GLINK but it's not an independent top-level device either. Introduce a new "qcom,rpm-proc" compatible that allows describing the RPM as a remote processor/subsystem like all others. The SMD/GLINK node is moved to a "smd-edge"/"glink-edge" subnode consistent with other existing bindings. Additional subnodes (e.g. interrupt-controller for MPM, rpm-master-stats) can be also added there.
