From 983c1807b398f5909bd8fd25ae987dc36e655946 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Punit Agrawal Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2015 12:06:21 +0000 Subject: devicetree: bindings: Add optional dynamic-power-coefficient property The dynamic power consumption of a device is proportional to the square of voltage (V) and the clock frequency (f). It can be expressed as Pdyn = dynamic-power-coefficient * V^2 * f. The coefficient represents the running time dynamic power consumption in units of mw/MHz/uVolt^2 and can be used in the above formula to calculate the dynamic power in mW.
