NVIDIA Tegra Power Management Controller (PMC)

== Power Management Controller Node ==

The PMC block interacts with an external Power Management Unit. The PMC
mostly controls the entry and exit of the system from different sleep
modes. It provides power-gating controllers for SoC and CPU power-islands.

Required properties:
- name : Should be pmc
- compatible : Should contain one of the following:
	For Tegra20 must contain "nvidia,tegra20-pmc".
	For Tegra30 must contain "nvidia,tegra30-pmc".
	For Tegra114 must contain "nvidia,tegra114-pmc"
	For Tegra124 must contain "nvidia,tegra124-pmc"
	For Tegra132 must contain "nvidia,tegra124-pmc"
	For Tegra210 must contain "nvidia,tegra210-pmc"
- reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device
- clocks : Must contain an entry for each entry in clock-names.
  See ../clocks/clock-bindings.txt for details.
- clock-names : Must include the following entries:
  "pclk" (The Tegra clock of that name),
  "clk32k_in" (The 32KHz clock input to Tegra).

Optional properties:
- nvidia,invert-interrupt : If present, inverts the PMU interrupt signal.
  The PMU is an external Power Management Unit, whose interrupt output
  signal is fed into the PMC. This signal is optionally inverted, and then
  fed into the ARM GIC. The PMC is not involved in the detection or
  handling of this interrupt signal, merely its inversion.
- nvidia,suspend-mode : The suspend mode that the platform should use.
  Valid values are 0, 1 and 2:
  0 (LP0): CPU + Core voltage off and DRAM in self-refresh
  1 (LP1): CPU voltage off and DRAM in self-refresh
  2 (LP2): CPU voltage off
- nvidia,core-power-req-active-high : Boolean, core power request active-high
- nvidia,sys-clock-req-active-high : Boolean, system clock request active-high
- nvidia,combined-power-req : Boolean, combined power request for CPU & Core
- nvidia,cpu-pwr-good-en : Boolean, CPU power good signal (from PMIC to PMC)
			   is enabled.

Required properties when nvidia,suspend-mode is specified:
- nvidia,cpu-pwr-good-time : CPU power good time in uS.
- nvidia,cpu-pwr-off-time : CPU power off time in uS.
- nvidia,core-pwr-good-time : <Oscillator-stable-time Power-stable-time>
			      Core power good time in uS.
- nvidia,core-pwr-off-time : Core power off time in uS.

Required properties when nvidia,suspend-mode=<0>:
- nvidia,lp0-vec : <start length> Starting address and length of LP0 vector
  The LP0 vector contains the warm boot code that is executed by AVP when
  resuming from the LP0 state. The AVP (Audio-Video Processor) is an ARM7
  processor and always being the first boot processor when chip is power on
  or resume from deep sleep mode. When the system is resumed from the deep
  sleep mode, the warm boot code will restore some PLLs, clocks and then
  bring up CPU0 for resuming the system.

Hardware-triggered thermal reset:
On Tegra30, Tegra114 and Tegra124, if the 'i2c-thermtrip' subnode exists,
hardware-triggered thermal reset will be enabled.

Required properties for hardware-triggered thermal reset (inside 'i2c-thermtrip'):
- nvidia,i2c-controller-id : ID of I2C controller to send poweroff command to. Valid values are
                             described in section 9.2.148 "APBDEV_PMC_SCRATCH53_0" of the
                             Tegra K1 Technical Reference Manual.
- nvidia,bus-addr : Bus address of the PMU on the I2C bus
- nvidia,reg-addr : I2C register address to write poweroff command to
- nvidia,reg-data : Poweroff command to write to PMU

Optional properties for hardware-triggered thermal reset (inside 'i2c-thermtrip'):
- nvidia,pinmux-id : Pinmux used by the hardware when issuing poweroff command.
                     Defaults to 0. Valid values are described in section 12.5.2
                     "Pinmux Support" of the Tegra4 Technical Reference Manual.

Optional nodes:
- powergates : This node contains a hierarchy of power domain nodes, which
	       should match the powergates on the Tegra SoC. See "Powergate
	       Nodes" below.

Example:

pmc@7000f400 {
	compatible = "nvidia,tegra20-pmc";
	reg = <0x7000e400 0x400>;

			reg=<0>;
			#clock-cells = <0>;
			clock-frequency = <32768>;
		};
	};
	...
};


== Powergate Nodes ==

Each of the powergate nodes represents a power-domain on the Tegra SoC
that can be power-gated by the Tegra PMC. The name of the powergate node
should be one of the below. Note that not every powergate is applicable
to all Tegra devices and the following list shows which powergates are
applicable to which devices. Please refer to the Tegra TRM for more
details on the various powergates.

  - #power-domain-cells: Must be 0.

	pmc: pmc@7000e400 {
		compatible = "nvidia,tegra210-pmc";
		reg = <0x0 0x7000e400 0x0 0x400>;
		clocks = <&tegra_car TEGRA210_CLK_PCLK>, <&clk32k_in>;
		clock-names = "pclk", "clk32k_in";

	};


== Powergate Clients ==

Hardware blocks belonging to a power domain should contain a "power-domains"
property that is a phandle pointing to the corresponding powergate node.

Example:

	adma: adma@702e2000 {
		...
		power-domains = <&pd_audio>;
		...
	};
