Resource Power Manager(RPM) RPM is a dedicated hardware engine for managing shared SoC resources, which includes buses, clocks, power rails, etc. The goal of RPM is to achieve the maximum power savings while satisfying the SoC's operational and performance requirements. RPM accepts resource requests from multiple RPM masters. It arbitrates and aggregates the requests, and configures the shared resources. The RPM masters are the application processor, the modem processor, as well as hardware accelerators. The RPM driver communicates with the hardware engine using SMD. The devicetree representation of the SPM block should be: Required properties - compatible: "qcom,rpm-smd" - rpm-channel-name: The string corresponding to the channel name of the peripheral subsystem - rpm-channel-type: The interal SMD edge for this subsystem found in Optional properties - rpm-standlone: Allow the driver to run in standalone mode. This is a suggestion to the RPM driver and if the SMD channel is made available for RPM, the driver would continue to send requests to RPM processor, but if the SMD channel is unavailable, driver will return success even though the data is not sent to the RPM processor. In the absence of this option, the driver will fail if the SMD channel is unavailable. Example: qcom,rpm-smd { compatible = "qcom,rpm-smd" qcom,rpm-channel-name = "rpm_requests"; qcom,rpm-channel-type = 15; /* SMD_APPS_RPM */ } }
