Hi Maxime,

Le ven. 4 nov. 2022 à 14:18:13 +0100, Maxime Ripard <maxime@xxxxxxxxxx> a écrit :
The Ingenic CGU clocks implements a mux with a set_parent hook, but
doesn't provide a determine_rate implementation.

This is a bit odd, since set_parent() is there to, as its name implies,
change the parent of a clock. However, the most likely candidate to
trigger that parent change is a call to clk_set_rate(), with
determine_rate() figuring out which parent is the best suited for a
given rate.

The other trigger would be a call to clk_set_parent(), but it's far less used, and it doesn't look like there's any obvious user for that clock.

So, the set_parent hook is effectively unused, possibly because of an
oversight. However, it could also be an explicit decision by the
original author to avoid any reparenting but through an explicit call to
clk_set_parent().

The driver does implement round_rate() though, which means that we can
change the rate of the clock, but we will never get to change the
parent.

However, It's hard to tell whether it's been done on purpose or not.

Since we'll start mandating a determine_rate() implementation, let's
convert the round_rate() implementation to a determine_rate(), which
will also make the current behavior explicit. And if it was an
oversight, the clock behaviour can be adjusted later on.

So it's partly on purpose, partly because I didn't know about .determine_rate.

There's nothing odd about having a lonely .set_parent callback; in my case the clocks are parented from the device tree.

Having the clocks driver trigger a parent change when requesting a rate change sounds very dangerous, IMHO. My MMC controller can be parented to the external 48 MHz oscillator, and if the card requests 50 MHz, it could switch to one of the PLLs. That works as long as the PLLs don't change rate, but if one is configured as driving the CPU clock, it becomes messy. The thing is, the clocks driver has no way to know whether or not it is "safe" to use a designated parent.

For that reason, in practice, I never actually want to have a clock re-parented - it's almost always a bad idea vs. sticking to the parent clock configured in the DTS.

Sorry but I'm not sure that this works.

You replace the "parent_rate" with the "best_parent_rate", and that means you only check the requested rate vs. the parent with the highest frequency, and not vs. the actual parent that will be used.
