MediaTek Idle States for cpuidle driver ARM provides idle-state node to define the cpuidle states, as defined in [1]. cpuidle-mediatek is the cpuidle driver for MediaTek SoCs and uses these idle states. Idle states have different enter/exit latency and residency values. A cpu can power down and warmboot if there is a sufficient time between the time it enters idle and the next known wake up. MediaTek idle-state is used to indicate a core entering a power down state without consulting any other cpu or the system resources. A core distinguishes itself in that the cpu acknowledges and permits the SoC to enter deeper sleep modes. The MediaTek Soc support suspend to idle state. This idle state will work efficiency when platform will enter suspend. Supend to idle will have the same conservation with system suspend in MediaTek SoC solution. The idle-state for MediaTek SoCs are distinguished by the compatible property of the idle-states device node. The devicetree representation of the idle state should be - Required properties: - compatible: Must be one of - "mediatek,idle-state", Other required and optional properties are specified in [1]. Example: idle-states { entry-method = "arm,psci"; cpuoff: cpuoff { compatible = "mediatek,idle-state"; arm,psci-suspend-param = <0x00010001>; local-timer-stop; entry-latency-us = <50>; exit-latency-us = <100>; min-residency-us = <1400>; }; clusteroff: clusteroff { compatible = "mediatek,idle-state"; arm,psci-suspend-param = <0x01010001>; local-timer-stop; entry-latency-us = <50>; exit-latency-us = <100>; min-residency-us = <1400>; }; mcusys: mcusys { compatible = "mediatek,idle-state"; arm,psci-suspend-param = <0x01010002>; local-timer-stop; entry-latency-us = <150>; exit-latency-us = <200>; min-residency-us = <2000>; }; s2idle: s2idle { compatible = "mediatek,idle-state"; arm,psci-suspend-param = <0x01010100>; local-timer-stop; entry-latency-us = <0xffffffff>; exit-latency-us = <0xffffffff>; min-residency-us = <0xffffffff>; }; }; [1].
