Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 00/12] Add support for PSE budget evaluation
strategy
From: Kory Maincent (Dent Project) <kory.maincent@...tlin.com>
This series brings support for budget evaluation strategy in the PSE
subsystem. PSE controllers can set priorities to decide which ports should
be turned off in case of special events like over-current.
This patch series adds support for two budget evaluation strategy.
1. Static Method:
This method involves distributing power based on PD classification.
It’s straightforward and stable, the PSE core keeping track of the
budget and subtracting the power requested by each PD’s class.
Advantages: Every PD gets its promised power at any time, which
guarantees reliability.
Disadvantages: PD classification steps are large, meaning devices
request much more power than they actually need. As a result, the power
supply may only operate at, say, 50% capacity, which is inefficient and
wastes money.
2. Dynamic Method:
To address the inefficiencies of the static method, vendors like
Microchip have introduced dynamic power budgeting, as seen in the
PD692x0 firmware. This method monitors the current consumption per port
and subtracts it from the available power budget. When the budget is
exceeded, lower-priority ports are shut down.
Advantages: This method optimizes resource utilization, saving costs.
Disadvantages: Low-priority devices may experience instability.
The UAPI allows adding support for software port priority mode managed from
userspace later if needed.
Patches 1-2: Add support for interrupt event report in PSE core, ethtool
and ethtool specs.
Patch 3: Adds support for interrupt and event report in TPS23881 driver.
Patches 4,5: Add support for PSE power domain in PSE core and ethtool.
Patches 6,7: Add support for budget evaluation strategy in PSE core,
ethtool and ethtool specs.
Patches 8-10: Add support for port priority and power supplies in PD692x0
drivers.
Patches 11,12: Add support for port priority in TPS23881 drivers.

Changes in v5:
- Remove the first part of the patch series which tackled PSE
improvement and already gets merged:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250110-b4-feature_poe_arrange-v3-0-142279aedb94@bootlin.com/
- Remove the PSE index support which is useless for now. The PSE power
domain ID is sufficient.
- Add support for PD692x0 power supplies other than Vmain which was already
in the patch series.
- Few other small fixes.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250103-feature_poe_port_prio-v4-0-dc91a3c0c187@bootlin.com
Changes in v4:
- Remove disconnection policy.
- Rename port priority mode to budget evaluation strategy.
- Add cosmetic changes in PSE core.
- Add support for port priority in PD692x0 driver.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241121-feature_poe_port_prio-v3-0-83299fa6967c@bootlin.com
Changes in v3:
- Move power budget to regulator core.
- Add disconnection policies with PIs using the same priority.
- Several fixes on the TPS23881 drivers.
- Several new cosmetic patches.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241030-feature_poe_port_prio-v2-0-9559622ee47a@bootlin.com
Changes in v2:
- Rethink the port priority management.
- Add PSE id.
- Add support for PSE power domains.
- Add get power budget regulator constraint.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241002-feature_poe_port_prio-v1-0-787054f74ed5@bootlin.com
