One obvious way to work around it would be to allow to store a regmap directly in the clk_hw structure, and then you'll only need to keep the register offset in your clock type, which is fine (I think?). > > > > diff --git a/include/dt-bindings/clock/sun8i-h3.h b/include/dt-bindings/clock/sun8i-h3.h > > > > new file mode 100644 > > > > index 000000000000..96eced56e7a2 > > > > --- /dev/null > > > > +++ b/include/dt-bindings/clock/sun8i-h3.h > > > > @@ -0,0 +1,162 @@ > > > > +#ifndef _DT_BINDINGS_CLK_SUN8I_H3_H_ > > > > +#define _DT_BINDINGS_CLK_SUN8I_H3_H_ > > > > + > > > > +#define CLK_PLL_CPUX 0 > > > > +#define CLK_PLL_AUDIO_BASE 1 > > > > +#define CLK_PLL_AUDIO 2 > > > > +#define CLK_PLL_AUDIO_2X 3 > > > > +#define CLK_PLL_AUDIO_4X 4 > > > > > > Are you sure you want to expose all of these clocks as part of the ABI? > > > I exposed the bare minimum clocks for the gxbb driver in the DT shared > > > header (we can always add more later) and kept the rest internal to the > > > kernel source. > > > > I thought about it, but that would require a third array with > > basically the same clocks: > > > > * the ccu_common array to patch to set the lock and base pointers, > > * the list of clocks to register > > * the clk_hw_onecell_data to deal with the dt binding. > > "the list of clocks to register" and "the clk_hw_onecell_data to deal > with the dt binding" are the same array. > > You only need two arrays: > > 1) the ccu_common init data > 2) the clk_hw_onecell_data array of clk_hw pointers that points to > clk_hw statically defined in the ccu_common array Ah, so you're still exposing them (anyone could be free to access of the hidden clocks if it knows what value to use), but you're hiding them (the ID is not public). That could work, I'll change that. Thanks! Maxime -- Maxime Ripard, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com
