As you know, in the H3, each of the 49 output clock has one of the 4 main clocks as its source. There are 3 options for defining the source of each clock: 1- all definitions are in the DT, 2- some definitions are in the DT, some other ones are hard-coded, 3- all definitions are hard-coded. The 2nd option is the one proposed by Jens https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/12/4/689 In the code, the clock index gives the source clock. This means that this code is H3 specific and that it cannot be reused for an other SoC. So, instead of putting some information in the DT, the 3rd option could be done without too much overhead with a DT: bus_gates: clk@01c20060 { #clock-cells = <1>; compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-h3-bus-gates-clk"; reg = <0x01c20060 0x14>; clocks = <&ahb1>, <&ahb2>, <&apb1>, <&apb2>; clock-names = "ahb1", "ahb2", "apb1", "apb2"; /* no clock-indices, nor clock-output-names, * these ones are hard-coded */ }; But, this option, as the previous one, implies new code for each new SoC. I better like the 1st option (reusable/generic code). This one may be done in many ways: 1.1- define a source phandle of each output clock. There were many proposals for such definitions, the simplest being mine: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/22/109 but this asked for a long list in 'clocks', and Maxime did not like that. 1.2- use a container per source clock https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/23/?663 1.3- use a part of the name of the output clock as the source reference. Current proposal, which seemed to suit Maxime https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/26/647 1.4- have you any other idea? -- Ken ar c'hentañ | ** Breizh ha Linux atav! ** Jef | http://moinejf.free.fr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
