[PATCH net-next] dpll: zl3073x: Allow to use custom phase measure averaging factor
Posted by Ivan Vecera 3 weeks, 1 day ago
The DPLL phase measurement block uses an exponential moving average,
calculated using the following equation:

                       2^N - 1                1
curr_avg = prev_avg * --------- + new_val * -----
                         2^N                 2^N

Where curr_avg is phase offset reported by the firmware to the driver,
prev_avg is previous averaged value and new_val is currently measured
value for particular reference.

New measurements are taken approximately 40 Hz or at the frequency of
the reference (whichever is lower).

The driver currently uses the averaging factor N=2 which prioritizes
a fast response time to track dynamic changes in the phase. But for
applications requiring a very stable and precise reading of the average
phase offset, and where rapid changes are not expected, a higher factor
would be appropriate.

Add devlink device parameter phase_offset_avg_factor to allow a user
set tune the averaging factor via devlink interface.

Maybe put the text in the commit message here as well?

Do you mean to put the equation and details from commit message here?
This is pretty long.

So what if it is long? At the moment, it is hiding in the commit
message. It is not easy to find, you effectively need to be a kernel
developer to find it. If it is in the documentation of the device, it
will be much easier to find and understand what this knob actually
does.

Agree. I will describe it in more detail in the documentation.

This looks like avg_factor = (ctx->val.vu8 + 1) & 0x0f;
The same logic can be applied for get() function assuming we are aware of
