    OPP: decouple dt properties in opp_parse_supplies() · 2eedf62e
    James Calligeros authored
    The opp-microwatt property was added with the intention of providing
    platforms a way to specify a precise value for the power consumption
    of a device at a given OPP to enable better energy-aware scheduling
    decisions by informing the kernel of the total static and dynamic
    power of a device at a given OPP, removing the reliance on the EM
    subsystem's often flawed estimations. This property is parsed by
    opp_parse_supplies(), which creates a hard dependency on the
    opp-microvolt property.
    
    Some platforms, such as Apple Silicon, do not describe their device's
    voltage regulators in the DT as they cannot be controlled by the kernel
    and/or rely on opaque firmware algorithms to control their voltage and
    current characteristics at runtime. We can, however, experimentally
    determine the power consumption of a given device at a given OPP, taking
    advantage of opp-microwatt to provide EAS on such devices as was
    initially intended.
    
    Allow platforms to specify and consume any subset of opp-microvolt,
    opp-microamp, or opp-microwatt without a hard dependency on
    opp-microvolt to enable this functionality on such platforms.
