Subject: [PATCH 0/8] Tegra124 EMC (external memory controller) support
Date: Fri, 05 Sep 2014 13:55:45 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <540996B1.4010300@kapsi.fi> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAAObsKABUa9xD+hntyv97ZQB7Bk05kN0h0-+H7Q9ks6RT0yV2Q@mail.gmail.com>

FYI, the structure the EMC series currently takes (in my local branch) 
is as follows:
- clock implementation in CAR code. This just knows about allowed rates 
and which parents should have them and handles reparenting when required.
- memory/tegra124-emc: this contains the EMC rate change sequence and 
exports an API which the clock driver uses.
- memory/tegra124-mc: contains API to write registers in MC memory 
space, used by memory/tegra124-emc.

(I decided that this is cleaner than having a huge EMC driver that uses 
an API exported by CAR)

I'm not sure if adding the bandwidth management code to the clock or 
memory/emc driver would be best. But we can decide that later.

I need to clean up the series after the big refactorings; I'll submit a 
new version once that's done.

Mikko

(P.S. my internship ended so I'm using this address now)
