BFE EngineeringandClaude Opus 4.8 54f961c6b6 kernel/rv1106: PVTM VERIFIED — both monitors probe + read (7th driver)
Whole-driver port (mainline has no rockchip pvtm): copied vendor rockchip_pvtm.c
+ pvtm.h. 6.18 deltas: thermal_zone opaque -> thermal_zone_get_temp; of_device.h.
Real blocker: vendor of_match_table wrapped rv1106 entries in #ifdef
CONFIG_CPU_RV1106 (nonexistent in mainline) -> devices+driver present but never
bound, probe silent. Dropped the guard -> both bind.

Verified: ff240000.pvtm + ff390000.pvtm probed; /sys/kernel/debug/pvtm/{core,pmu}/
value read ring-osc counts (71682 90462 / 35772). pvtm/PORT-DONE.md.

PVTM (Process-Voltage-Temperature Monitor) — VERIFIED on warden-c8a3 (2026-08-25)

Whole-driver port: mainline 6.18 has no rockchip pvtm driver; the vendor drivers/soc/rockchip/rockchip_pvtm.c (GPL-2.0, 1046L) supports rv1106. Copied it in

  • include/linux/soc/rockchip/pvtm.h; Kconfig ROCKCHIP_PVTM + Makefile; =y.

API-delta fixes (6.18)

  • struct thermal_zone_device is now opaque → replaced pvtm->tz->ops->get_temp(...) with the public thermal_zone_get_temp(pvtm->tz, &cur_temp).
  • added #include <linux/of_device.h> for of_match_device().
  • copied the vendor-only header linux/soc/rockchip/pvtm.h.

The real blocker (why it first probed silently)

The vendor of_match_table wraps the rv1106 entries in #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_RV1106 — a vendor per-SoC symbol that does not exist in mainline. Result: devices (ff240000.pvtm, ff390000.pvtm) were created + the driver registered, but the compatibles were compiled out of the match table, so nothing bound and probe never ran (no dmesg at all). Fix: drop the #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_RV1106 guard — our tree only builds for rv1106, so the entries are unconditional. (Watch for this guard in any other vendor driver ported by verbatim copy.)

Evidence

rockchip-pvtm ff240000.pvtm: pvtm@0 probed + ff390000.pvtm: pvtm@0 probed; /sys/kernel/debug/pvtm/core/value = pvtm: 71682 90462, /sys/kernel/debug/pvtm/pmu/value = pvtm: 35772 (ring-oscillator counts, the PVT signal). Exports rockchip_get_pvtm_value() for future DVFS voltage margining.
