The same MALI-450 MP3 GPU is present in the GXBB and GXL SoCs.

The node is simply added in the meson-gxbb.dtsi file.

For GXL, since a lot is shared with the GXM that has a MALI-T820 IP, this
patch adds a new meson-gxl-mali.dtsi and is included in the SoC specific
dtsi files.

First of all, any reason you're upper-casing Mali in the commit message?
ARM doesn't.

The GXBB part looks fine on a quick look.

This part is slightly confusing though.

What exactly is the GXL vs. GXM difference that this can't be handled by
overriding node properties compatible/interrupts/clocks? I am missing a
GXM patch in this series as rationale for doing it this way.

In particular I am wondering whether the whole GXM-inherits-from-GXL
concept is flawed and should be adjusted if this leads to secondary
.dtsi files like this: My proposal would be to instead create a
meson-gxl-gxm.dtsi, that meson-gxl.dtsi and meson-gxm.dtsi can inherit
the current common parts from, then the Mali bits can simply go into
meson-gxl.dtsi without extra #includes needed in S905X and S905D. While
it's slightly more work to split once again, I think it would be cleaner.

Regards,
Andreas

No reason, only a type, indeed it was lower-casing on the v1.
Will fix in v2.

The GXL and GXM differences are very small :
 - They share the same clock tree
 - They share the same pinctrl and even the same pinout (S905D and S912 are pin-to-pin compatible)
 - They share all the peripherals

The only changes are :
 - Enhanced video encoding and decoding support, this will need a family-specific compatible when pushed
 - Slightly differences in the Video Processing Unit, this is why I introduced family-specific compatibles
 - A secondary Cortex-A53 cluster
 - A secondary SCPI cpufreq clock entry
 - A different Mali core, but with the same interrupts (less but they share the same lower interrupts), clocks and memory space

This is why it was decided to have a sub-dtsi, having a secondary dtsi will simply copy 99% of the GXL dtsi,
but surely we could also have an intermediate dtsi but for boards I'm ok with it, but less for a SoC dtsi,
since it could lead to some confusion.

Finally, yes I could have added the mali node to the GXL dtsi, but the midgard Mali dt-bindings are not upstream
and the family is too big and recent enough to consider having stable bindings for now.

Nevertheless, nothing is final, this gxl-mali.dtsi could be merged into the GXL dtsi in the future when we
have proper dt-bindings and a real support of the T820 Mali on the S912.

Kevin, what's your thought about this ?

OK, my question really was specific to Mali differences. :)

What about a /delete-node/ &mali; in meson-gxm.dtsi?
That would avoid having any new .dtsi.

I don't have a strong preference.  I'm OK with a separate Mali .dtsi due
to the signficant overlap between GXL/GXM in terms of clocks, interrupts
etc.

However, if the plan is to #include this from GXM .dts files, whould a
better name be meson-gx-mali.dtsi?

I thought the purpose was specifically to not have GXM include it
because it uses a Midgard IP.

If you want to share the fragment with GXBB too (gx), we should rather
use meson-gx-mali-utgard.dtsi, which would differentiate from GXM's
Midgard while still allowing for variation on the 4xx side (e.g., 470).

Exact, there is no plan to include it from GXM.

I'm not fan of having meson-gx-mali-utgard.dtsi, we should still need some attributes additions for
the clocks to the mali node in the gxbb dtsi and each s905x and s905d dtsi files.
I'm not sure this is even cleaner...

OK, I misunderstood the intent of having it separated from out from the
GXL .dsti then.  Could you please clarify?

Hi,

Indeed, my changelog was not really clear, here is the reworded one that will land in v2 :
"
This patch add nodes for the Mali-450 MP3 GPU present in the GXBB and GXL SoCs.

For GXBB, the node is simply added in the meson-gxbb.dtsi file.

Fox GXL, since the GXM dtsi is a superset of the GXL dtsi, the Mali node is added to
the GXL SoC specific dtsi files via an intermediate "meson-gxl-mali.dtsi" file to avoid
having an invalid Mali-450 node in the GXM device tree.
"

Thanks,
Neil
