电源管理之regulator机制流程

电源管理芯片可以为多设备供电,且这些设备电压电流有所同。为这些设备提供的稳压器代码模型即为regulator


下面通过下面三个过程分析regulartor供电机制:

1.分析regulator结构体

2.regulator 注册过程

3.设备使用regulator过程


.分析regulator结构体

Regulator模块用于控制系统中某些设备的电压/电流供应。在嵌入式系统(尤其是手机)中,控制耗电量很重要,直接影响到电池的续航时间。所以,如果系统中某一个模块暂时不需要使用,就可以通过regulator关闭其电源供应;或者降低提供给该模块的电压、电流大小。

Regulator的文档在KERNEL/Documentation/Power/Regulator中。

 

Regulator与模块之间是树状关系。父regulator可以给设备供电,也可以给子regulator供电:

Regulator

--> 子Regulator --> [supply]

--> 设备[Consumer]

具体细节可参考内核文档machine.txt


regulator_dev

regulator_dev代表一个regulator设备。

struct regulator_dev {

struct regulator_desc *desc; // 描述符,包括regulator的名称、IDregulator_ops

int use_count; // 使用计数

 

struct list_head list; // regulator通过此结构挂到regulator_list链表中

struct list_head slist; // 如果有父regulator,通过此域挂到父regulator的链表

 

struct list_head consumer_list; // 此regulator负责供电的设备列表

struct list_head supply_list; //regulator负责供电的子regulator

struct blocking_notifier_head notifier; // notifier,具体的值在consumer.h中,比如REGULATOR_EVENT_FAIL

struct mutex mutex;

struct module *owner;

struct device dev; // device结构,属于class regulator_class

struct regulation_constraints *constraints; // 限制,比如最大电压/电流、最小电压/电流

struct regulator_dev *supply; // 父regulator的指针,即由此regulator 供电

void *reg_data;

};


regulator_init_data

 

regulator_init_data在初始化时使用,用来建立父子regulator、受电模块之间的树状结构,以及一些regulator的基本参数。

struct regulator_init_data {

struct device *supply_regulator_dev; // 父regulator的指针

struct regulation_constraints constraints;

int num_consumer_supplies;

struct regulator_consumer_supply *consumer_supplies; // 负责供电的设备数组

 

int (*regulator_init)(void *driver_data); // 初始化函数,在regulator_register被调用

void *driver_data;

};


其它结构体自己可以看看~如

struct regulator               -------> 设备驱动直接操作的结构体

struct regulation_constraints       ----->regulator限制范围,其它信息,在于

                       struct regulator_init_data,用于初始化

struct regulator_consumer_supply   ----->consumer信息

struct regulator_desc                           ----->这个多关注些,内有正真操作设备函数结构体~

struct regulator_map                           ----->这个为consumers与regulator对应表

........................................

............................................

. 注册regulator过程

先说明下两具在regulatorcore中有两个关键的全局变量链表:

regulator_list 每注册一个regulator都会挂到这里

regulator_map_list  每一个regulator都会为多个consumer供电,此表为挂consumer


regulator注册过程是通过platform平台注册,当然一个电源管理芯片可以供几十个设备供电,所以不可能每个regulator一个驱动文件,它们是通过,在电源管理芯片驱动中一块注册到regulatocore中。

对于电源管理芯片驱动的注册则通过I2C注册的。接下来以中星微方案过下,

首先,在平台设备文件中,有关struct regulator_init_data XX定义~

如:

.........................

static struct regulator_init_data va7882_ldo13_data = {

.constraints = {

.name = "LDO13-HDMI1V2", //Default: 1.5V , Powered By DCDC5, C-class

.min_uV = 1200000,

.max_uV = 1800000,

.apply_uV = 1,

// TEMP_ON

.valid_ops_mask = REGULATOR_CHANGE_VOLTAGE | REGULATOR_CHANGE_STATUS | REGULATOR_CHANGE_MODE,

.initial_mode = REGULATOR_MODE_NORMAL,

.valid_modes_mask = REGULATOR_MODE_NORMAL | REGULATOR_MODE_STANDBY,

},

.supply_regulator = supply_regulator_name_arrary[ID_VA7882_LDO13],

.num_consumer_supplies = 2,

.consumer_supplies = (struct regulator_consumer_supply []) {

{ .supply = regulator_name_arrary[ID_VA7882_LDO13][0] },

{ .supply = regulator_name_arrary[ID_VA7882_LDO13][1] },

{ .supply = regulator_name_arrary[ID_VA7882_LDO13][2] },

},

};

........................................

其实这些结构体又会被同一文件中的自定义文件初始化函数 v8_va7882_init调用,其实就是

va7882_register_regulator---->为每个regulator分配对应的struct platform_device---->platform_device_add 

platform_driver在哪?

static struct platform_driver va7882_regulator_driver = {

.driver = {

.name = "va7882-regulator",

.owner = THIS_MODULE,

},

.probe = va7882_regulator_probe,

.remove = __exit_p(va7882_regulator_remove),

.suspend = va7882_regulator_suspend,    //可见休眠唤醒是使用同一个,

.resume = va7882_regulator_resume,      //再次说明它们是一统管理,它们也是为了节省.

.shutdown = va7882_regulator_shutdown,

};

这个platform_driver是每个regulator共用的的,因为name都是" va7882-regulator"

在这个platform_driverprobe中就干了一件事regulator_register,从而获得regulator_dev


接下来分析下regulator_register注册

Regulator的注册由regulator_register完成。

一般来说,为了添加regulator_dev,需要实现一个设备驱动程序,以及在板子的设备列表中增加一个该驱动对应的设备(比如platform_device)。在这个设备的struct device->platform_data域,需要设置regulator_init结构,填写该regulator的相关信息。另外,还需要定义一个regulator_desc结构。这样,在这个物理设备的驱动程序中,就可以通过regulator_register函数登记生成一个regulator_dev

struct regulator_dev *regulator_register(struct regulator_desc *regulator_desc, struct device *dev, void *driver_data)

struct regulator_init_data *init_data = dev->platform_data;// 得到init_data

// 完整性检查

// 分配regulator_dev结构

struct regulator_dev *rdev = kzalloc (sizeof(struct regulator_dev), GFP_KERNEL);

// 初始化regulator_dev结构

// 执行regulator_init,该函数中实现regulator代表的硬件设备的初始化

if (init_data->regulator_init)

ret = init_data->regulator_init(rdev->reg_data);

rdev->dev.class = &regulator_class; // 指定classregulator_class

rdev->dev.parent = dev;

device_register(&rdev->dev); // 注册设备

// 设置constraints,其中可能会包括供电状态的初始化(设置初始电压,enable/disable等等)

set_machine_constraints(rdev, &init_data->constraints);

add_regulator_attributes (rdev);

// 如果此regulator有父regulator,设置父regulator

if (init_data->supply_regulator_dev) {

ret = set_supply(rdev,

dev_get_drvdata(init_data->supply_regulator_dev));

if (ret < 0)

goto scrub;

}

// 设置此regulator与其负责供电的设备之间的联系

for (i = 0; i < init_data->num_consumer_supplies; i++)

ret = set_consumer_device_supply(rdev, init_data->consumer_supplies[i].dev,

init_data->consumer_supplies[i].supply);

// 将regulator加入一个链表,该链表包含所有regulator

list_add(&rdev->list, &regulator_list);

.............................


那个regulator 根据在regulator_list中用init_data->supply_regulator来匹配

匹配成功用set_supply()来设置注册的regulator是由那个regulator供电rdev->supply = supply_rdev; list_add(&rdev->slist, &supply_rdev->supply_list);

多个consumerset_consumer_device_supply(),先检查

list_for_each_entry(node, &regulator_map_list, list) 后添加

list_add(&node->list, &regulator_map_list);当然node已经在

         node->regulator = rdev;

         node->supply = supply;

形成 对于每一个regulator_dev—comsumer_dev的配对

最后在把regulator通过list_add(&rdev->list, &regulator_list);加到 regulator_list链表中。

 

.设备使用regulator过程


 在设备驱动使用regulator对其驱动的设备供电时,首先要确保设备与对应regulator之间的匹配关系已经被登记到regulator框架中。

之后,设备驱动通过regulator_get函数得到regulator结构,此函数通过前文所述regulator_map_list找到对应regulator_dev,再生成regulator结构给用户使用。

通过regulator_enable / regulator_disable打开、关闭regulator,这两个函数最终都是调用struct regulator_ops里的对应成员。

除此之外,还有regualtor_set_voltage / regulator_get_voltage等等。

Regulator能够支持的所有功能列表都在struct regulator_ops中定义,具体可参考代码中的注释。

struct regulator_ops {

 

int (*set_voltage) (struct regulator_dev *, int min_uV, int max_uV);

int (*get_voltage) (struct regulator_dev *);

 

int (*set_current_limit) (struct regulator_dev *,

int min_uA, int max_uA);

int (*get_current_limit) (struct regulator_dev *);

 

int (*enable) (struct regulator_dev *);

int (*disable) (struct regulator_dev *);

int (*is_enabled) (struct regulator_dev *);

 

int (*set_mode) (struct regulator_dev *, unsigned int mode);

unsigned int (*get_mode) (struct regulator_dev *);

 

unsigned int (*get_optimum_mode) (struct regulator_dev *, int input_uV,

int output_uV, int load_uA);

 

 

int (*set_suspend_voltage) (struct regulator_dev *, int uV);

 

int (*set_suspend_enable) (struct regulator_dev *);

int (*set_suspend_disable) (struct regulator_dev *);

 

int (*set_suspend_mode) (struct regulator_dev *, unsigned int mode);

};


接下来我就以中星型的HDMI驱动使用regulator过一遍。

vc088x_hdmi.c文件:

HDMI驱动也是通过platform平台注册上去,所以在platform_driverprobe中有这个句

ret = v8hdmi_pwr_get(&pdev->dev);

regulator_get(dev,id);

_regulator_get(dev, id, 0);

{

…........

…...........

if (dev)

devname = dev_name(dev);

list_for_each_entry(map, &regulator_map_list, list) {

 

if (map->dev_name &&(!devname || strcmp(map->dev_name, devname)))

continue;

if (strcmp(map->supply, id) == 0) {//查找配对

rdev = map->regulator;

goto found;

}

}

….....................

…..........................

//这个用于在sys目录下建立对应的regulator文件,用于用户空间操作

regulator = create_regulator(rdev, dev, id); //regulator -->struct regulator

….............................

return regulator;

}


返回的regulator会赋给全局变量,如 hdmi_core_consumer = regulator,//这只是例子,不同方案处理不一样。

在恰当的时候使能它,如

ret = v8hdmi_pwr_enable();

regulator_enable(hdmi_io_consumer);

struct regulator_dev *rdev = regulator->rdev;

ret = _regulator_enable(rdev);

….................

if (rdev->use_count == 0) {

 

if (rdev->supply) {

mutex_lock(&rdev->supply->mutex);

ret = _regulator_enable(rdev->supply);//使能父regulator

mutex_unlock(&rdev->supply->mutex);

If (ret < 0) {

rdev_err(rdev, "failed to enable: %d\n", ret);

return ret;

}

}

}

…...............................

ret = rdev->desc->ops->enable(rdev);//调用真正使能操作.

….......................

使能函数到此结束.


总的来看,使用也是通过regulator_get()-->regulator_enable()就可以了

想关时,regulator_disable()--->regulator_put(),反操作~



其实我疑惑是真正操作电源管理芯片那些操作,存放在struct regulator_ops 结构体内

而这个结构体包含在于struct regulator_desc内,这个结构体,在执行注册regulator时,使用到,被赋到regulator_dev-->desc中~

对于struct regulator_ops中的操作方法,就涉及到电源芯片驱动,下面是va7882的操作方法

static struct regulator_ops va7882_dcdc_ops = {

.set_voltage = va7882_dcdc_set_voltage,

.get_voltage = va7882_dcdc_get_voltage,

.list_voltage = va7882_dcdc_list_voltage,

.enable = va7882_dcdc_enable,

.disable = va7882_dcdc_disable,

.is_enabled = va7882_dcdc_is_enabled,

.get_mode = va7882_dcdc_get_mode,

.set_mode = va7882_dcdc_set_mode,

.get_optimum_mode = va7882_dcdc_get_optimum_mode,

.set_suspend_voltage = va7882_dcdc_set_suspend_voltage,

.set_suspend_enable = va7882_dcdc_set_suspend_enable,

.set_suspend_disable = va7882_dcdc_set_suspend_disable,

.set_suspend_mode = va7882_dcdc_set_suspend_mode,

.enable_time = va7882_enable_time,

};




接后面再讨论电源管理芯片驱动,还有像v8_va7882_init函数来初始化及注册各种regulator,那谁去调用这个初始函数呢?怎么的调用流程呢?这些都在电源管理芯片驱动会讲到!
