1System Control and Power Interface (SCPI) Message Protocol
2----------------------------------------------------------
3
4Firmware implementing the SCPI described in ARM document number ARM DUI 0922B
5("ARM Compute Subsystem SCP: Message Interface Protocols")[0] can be used
6by Linux to initiate various system control and power operations.
7
8Required properties:
9
10- compatible : should be "arm,scpi"
11- mboxes: List of phandle and mailbox channel specifiers
12 All the channels reserved by remote SCP firmware for use by
13 SCPI message protocol should be specified in any order
14- shmem : List of phandle pointing to the shared memory(SHM) area between the
15 processors using these mailboxes for IPC, one for each mailbox
16 SHM can be any memory reserved for the purpose of this communication
17 between the processors.
18
19See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mailbox/mailbox.txt
20for more details about the generic mailbox controller and
21client driver bindings.

23Clock bindings for the clocks based on SCPI Message Protocol
24------------------------------------------------------------
25
26This binding uses the common clock binding[1].
27
28Container Node
29==============
30Required properties:
31- compatible : should be "arm,scpi-clocks"
32 All the clocks provided by SCP firmware via SCPI message
33 protocol much be listed as sub-nodes under this node.
34
35Sub-nodes
36=========
37Required properties:
38- compatible : shall include one of the following
39 "arm,scpi-dvfs-clocks" - all the clocks that are variable and index based.
40 These clocks don't provide an entire range of values between the
41 limits but only discrete points within the range. The firmware
42 provides the mapping for each such operating frequency and the
43 index associated with it. The firmware also manages the
44 voltage scaling appropriately with the clock scaling.
45 "arm,scpi-variable-clocks" - all the clocks that are variable and provide full
46 range within the specified range. The firmware provides the
47 range of values within a specified range.
48
49Other required properties for all clocks(all from common clock binding):
50- #clock-cells : Should be 1. Contains the Clock ID value used by SCPI commands.
51- clock-output-names : shall be the corresponding names of the outputs.
52- clock-indices: The identifying number for the clocks(i.e.clock_id) in the
53 node. It can be non linear and hence provide the mapping of identifiers
54 into the clock-output-names array.
55
56SRAM and Shared Memory for SCPI
57-------------------------------
58
59A small area of SRAM is reserved for SCPI communication between application
60processors and SCP.
61
62Required properties:
63- compatible : should be "arm,juno-sram-ns" for Non-secure SRAM on Juno
64
65The rest of the properties should follow the generic mmio-sram description
66found in ../../sram/sram.txt
67
68Each sub-node represents the reserved area for SCPI.
69
70Required sub-node properties:
71- reg : The base offset and size of the reserved area with the SRAM
72- compatible : should be "arm,juno-scp-shmem" for Non-secure SRAM based
73 shared memory on Juno platforms
74
75Sensor bindings for the sensors based on SCPI Message Protocol
76--------------------------------------------------------------
77SCPI provides an API to access the various sensors on the SoC.
78
79Required properties:
80- compatible : should be "arm,scpi-sensors".
81- #thermal-sensor-cells: should be set to 1. This property follows the
82 thermal device tree bindings[2].
83
84 Valid cell values are raw identifiers (Sensor
85 ID) as used by the firmware. Refer to
86 platform documentation for your
87 implementation for the IDs to use. For Juno
88 R0 and Juno R1 refer to [3].
89
90Power domain bindings for the power domains based on SCPI Message Protocol
91------------------------------------------------------------
92
93This binding uses the generic power domain binding[4].
94
95PM domain providers
96===================
97
98Required properties:
99 - #power-domain-cells : Should be 1. Contains the device or the power
100 domain ID value used by SCPI commands.
101 - num-domains: Total number of power domains provided by SCPI. This is
102 needed as the SCPI message protocol lacks a mechanism to
103 query this information at runtime.
104
105PM domain consumers
106===================
107
108Required properties:
109 - power-domains : A phandle and PM domain specifier as defined by bindings of
110 the power controller specified by phandle.

120sram: sram@50000000 {
121 compatible = "arm,juno-sram-ns", "mmio-sram";
122 reg = <0x0 0x50000000 0x0 0x10000>;
123
124 #address-cells = <1>;
125 #size-cells = <1>;
126 ranges = <0 0x0 0x50000000 0x10000>;
127
128 cpu_scp_lpri: scp-shmem@0 {
129 compatible = "arm,juno-scp-shmem";
130 reg = <0x0 0x200>;
131 };
132
133 cpu_scp_hpri: scp-shmem@200 {
134 compatible = "arm,juno-scp-shmem";
135 reg = <0x200 0x200>;
136 };
137};
138
139mailbox: mailbox0@40000000 {
140 ....
141 #mbox-cells = <1>;
142};
143
144scpi_protocol: scpi@2e000000 {
145 compatible = "arm,scpi";
146 mboxes = <&mailbox 0 &mailbox 1>;
147 shmem = <&cpu_scp_lpri &cpu_scp_hpri>;
148
149 clocks {
150 compatible = "arm,scpi-clocks";
151
152 scpi_dvfs: scpi_clocks@0 {
153 compatible = "arm,scpi-dvfs-clocks";
154 #clock-cells = <1>;
155 clock-indices = <0>, <1>, <2>;
156 clock-output-names = "atlclk", "aplclk","gpuclk";
157 };
158 scpi_clk: scpi_clocks@3 {
159 compatible = "arm,scpi-variable-clocks";
160 #clock-cells = <1>;
161 clock-indices = <3>, <4>;
162 clock-output-names = "pxlclk0", "pxlclk1";
163 };
164 };
165
166 scpi_sensors0: sensors {
167 compatible = "arm,scpi-sensors";
168 #thermal-sensor-cells = <1>;
169 };
170
171 scpi_devpd: scpi-power-domains {
172 compatible = "arm,scpi-power-domains";
173 num-domains = <2>;
174 #power-domain-cells = <1>;
175 };
176};
177
178cpu@0 {
179 ...
180 reg = <0 0>;
181 clocks = <&scpi_dvfs 0>;
182};
183
184hdlcd@7ff60000 {
185 ...
186 reg = <0 0x7ff60000 0 0x1000>;
187 clocks = <&scpi_clk 4>;
188 power-domains = <&scpi_devpd 1>;
189};
190
191thermal-zones {
192 soc_thermal {
193 polling-delay-passive = <100>;
194 polling-delay = <1000>;
195
196 /* sensor ID */
197 thermal-sensors = <&scpi_sensors0 3>;
198 ...
199 };
200};
201
202In the above example, the #clock-cells is set to 1 as required.
203scpi_dvfs has 3 output clocks namely: atlclk, aplclk, and gpuclk with 0,
2041 and 2 as clock-indices. scpi_clk has 2 output clocks namely: pxlclk0
205and pxlclk1 with 3 and 4 as clock-indices.
206
207The first consumer in the example is cpu@0 and it has '0' as the clock
208specifier which points to the first entry in the output clocks of
209scpi_dvfs i.e. "atlclk".
210
211Similarly the second example is hdlcd@7ff60000 and it has pxlclk1 as input
212clock. '4' in the clock specifier here points to the second entry
213in the output clocks of scpi_clocks i.e. "pxlclk1"
214
215The thermal-sensors property in the soc_thermal node uses the
216temperature sensor provided by SCP firmware to setup a thermal
217zone. The ID "3" is the sensor identifier for the temperature sensor
218as used by the firmware.
219
220The num-domains property in scpi-power-domains domain specifies that
221SCPI provides 2 power domains. The hdlcd node uses the power domain with
222domain ID 1.
