This layer provides Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) patcheseel_5.1.0eel_5.0.3eel_5.0.2eel/5.1.0eel/5.0.3eel/5.0.25.1.05.0.35.0.2eel
For the moment only for Renesas R-Car Gen3 SoC's.
Can be expanded for other SoC's by setting the machine
feature biglittle and provide the relevant EAS patches.

In this case, additional information has ++to be made available to the kernel for it to be aware of such differences and ++take decisions accordingly. ++ ++========================================== ++2 - CPU capacity definition ++========================================== ++ ++CPU capacity is a number that provides the scheduler information about CPUs ++heterogeneity. Such heterogeneity can come from micro-architectural differences ++(e.g., ARM big.LITTLE systems) or maximum frequency at which CPUs can run ++(e.g., SMP systems with multiple frequency domains). Heterogeneity in this ++context is about differing performance characteristics; this binding tries to ++capture a first-order approximation of the relative performance of CPUs. ++ ++CPU capacities are obtained by running a suitable benchmark. This binding makes ++no guarantees on the validity or suitability of any particular benchmark, the ++final capacity should, however, be: ++ ++* A "single-threaded" or CPU affine benchmark ++* Divided by the running frequency of the CPU executing the benchmark ++* Not subject to dynamic frequency scaling of the CPU ++ ++For the time being we however advise usage of the Dhrystone benchmark. What ++above thus becomes: ++ ++CPU capacities are obtained by running the Dhrystone benchmark on each CPU at ++max frequency (with caches enabled). The obtained DMIPS score is then divided ++by the frequency (in MHz) at which the benchmark has been run, so that ++DMIPS/MHz are obtained. Such values are then normalized w.r.t. the highest ++score obtained in the system. ++ ++========================================== ++3 - capacity-dmips-mhz ++========================================== ++ ++capacity-dmips-mhz is an optional cpu node [1] property: u32 value ++representing CPU capacity expressed in normalized DMIPS/MHz. At boot time, the ++maximum frequency available to the cpu is then used to calculate the capacity ++value internally used by the kernel. ++ ++capacity-dmips-mhz property is all-or-nothing: if it is specified for a cpu ++node, it has to be specified for every other cpu nodes, or the system will ++fall back to the default capacity value for every CPU. If cpufreq is not ++available, final capacities are calculated by directly using capacity-dmips- ++mhz values (normalized w.r.t. the highest value found while parsing the DT). ++ ++=========================================== ++4 - Examples ++=========================================== ++ ++Example 1 (ARM 64-bit, 6-cpu system, two clusters): ++capacities-dmips-mhz are scaled w.r.t. 1024 (cpu@0 and cpu@1) ++supposing cluster0@max-freq=1100 and custer1@max-freq=850, ++final capacities are 1024 for cluster0 and 446 for cluster1 ++ ++cpus { ++ #address-cells = <2>;
