PM driver
drivers/soc/xilinx/zynqmp/
  • Replaced old PM driver(drivers/soc/xilinx/zynqmp/pm.c) with new driver(drivers/soc/xilinx/zynqmp/power.c). Power.c now only contains power management related functions. Earlier pm.c had some platform management functions which are now moved to firmware interface.

  • Changed Sysfs/debugfs paths and their usage
  • Change in device tree bindings
    • Removed "xlnx,zynqmp-pm" binding and replaced with new binding("xlnx,zynqmp-power") for power management driver

  • Removed MMIO interface(AR 71089)
  • Added sysfs to set shutdown scope
  • Extracted firmware related property from old PM binding and created separate DT binding for ZynqMP firmware("xlnx,zynqmp-firmware")

  • Implement the IPI driver under the Linux kernel mailbox framework
    • Use the IPI hardware core as a mailbox.
    • One message at a time, that is there will be no message sent until the previous message in the mailbox has been taken by the receiver.
    • Use the 32 bytes IPI buffer for the content of the message, and use the IPI registers for notification.
