[PATCH v2 0/8] drm/msm: Attach a driver to GMU

From: Akhil P Oommen

Date: Fri Oct 30 2026 - 13:09:42 EST


With the introduction of sync_state in the genpd framework, any consumer
device of GCC and GPUCC which is not bound to a driver will result in
bootup warnings like below:

[ 24.362666] gcc-kaanapali 100000.clock-controller: sync_state() pending due to 3d37000.gmu
[ 24.371210] gxclkctl-kaanapali 3d64000.clock-controller: sync_state() pending due to 3d37000.gmu
[ 24.380268] gpucc-kaanapali 3d90000.clock-controller: sync_state() pending due to 3d37000.gmu

To silence these warnings and also to have a proper state in driver core,
attach a driver to the GMU and set it up as a component device for the drm
master device.

The first few patches are preparatory fixes. And the later patches
introduces a driver for GMU device and a couple of minor refactors.

I have ignored most of the T-b/R-b tags as there is significant code
churn in v2 when compared to v1.

Changes in v2:
- Reorder patches to move fixes to the front (Dmitry)
- New patch to remove unused gpu_ops paramer (Dmitry)
- New patch to consolidate msm_gpu_probe into msm_drv_probe
- Drop patch#2 in the v1 series as it doesn't make sense after rebase
- A new patch to pass around DRM private data via devres
- Retrieve GPU data from master's private data during GMU bind
- Move devfreq initialiation post GPU/GMU bind to avoid handling thermal
mitigation while GMU device is not bound to the driver.
- Ensure GPU is queicent before GMU unbind.
