The arisc firmware for H3 contains table of factors for frequences from 0 to 2GHz and, P is used below 240MHz. M is never used, BTW. (other datasheets specify M as for testing use only, whatever that means - not H3, but it seems it's the same PLL block) ... snip ... { .n = 9, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 2 }, // 60 => 60 MHz { .n = 10, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 2 }, // 66 => 66 MHz { .n = 11, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 2 }, // 72 => 72 MHz { .n = 12, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 2 }, // 78 => 78 MHz { .n = 13, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 2 }, // 84 => 84 MHz { .n = 14, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 2 }, // 90 => 90 MHz { .n = 15, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 2 }, // 96 => 96 MHz { .n = 16, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 2 }, // 102 => 102 MHz { .n = 17, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 2 }, // 108 => 108 MHz { .n = 18, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 2 }, // 114 => 114 MHz { .n = 9, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 1 }, // 120 => 120 MHz { .n = 10, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 1 }, // 126 => 132 MHz { .n = 10, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 1 }, // 132 => 132 MHz { .n = 11, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 1 }, // 138 => 144 MHz { .n = 11, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 1 }, // 144 => 144 MHz { .n = 12, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 1 }, // 150 => 156 MHz { .n = 12, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 1 }, // 156 => 156 MHz { .n = 13, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 1 }, // 162 => 168 MHz { .n = 13, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 1 }, // 168 => 168 MHz { .n = 14, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 1 }, // 174 => 180 MHz { .n = 14, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 1 }, // 180 => 180 MHz { .n = 15, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 1 }, // 186 => 192 MHz { .n = 15, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 1 }, // 192 => 192 MHz { .n = 16, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 1 }, // 198 => 204 MHz { .n = 16, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 1 }, // 204 => 204 MHz { .n = 17, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 1 }, // 210 => 216 MHz { .n = 17, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 1 }, // 216 => 216 MHz { .n = 18, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 1 }, // 222 => 228 MHz { .n = 18, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 1 }, // 228 => 228 MHz { .n = 9, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 0 }, // 234 => 240 MHz { .n = 9, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 0 }, // 240 => 240 MHz { .n = 10, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 0 }, // 246 => 264 MHz { .n = 10, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 0 }, // 252 => 264 MHz { .n = 10, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 0 }, // 258 => 264 MHz { .n = 10, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 0 }, // 264 => 264 MHz { .n = 11, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 0 }, // 270 => 288 MHz { .n = 11, .k = 0, .m = 0, .p = 0 }, // 276 => 288 MHz ... snip ... >>>> + if (FACTOR_GET(config->mshift, config->mwidth, reg) < req->m) { >>>> + reg = FACTOR_SET(config->mshift, config->mwidth, reg, req->m); >>>> + >>>> + writel(reg, factors->reg); >>>> + __delay(2000); >>>> + } >>>> + >>>> + reg = FACTOR_SET(config->nshift, config->nwidth, reg, req->n); >>>> + reg = FACTOR_SET(config->kshift, config->kwidth, reg, req->k); >>>> + >>>> + writel(reg, factors->reg); >>>> + __delay(20); >>>> + >>>> + while (!(readl(factors->reg) & (1 << config->lock))); >>> >>> So, they are applying the dividers first, and then applying the >>> multipliers, and then wait for the PLL to stabilize. >> >> Not exactly, first we are increasing dividers if the new dividers are >> higher that that what's already set.

It may be, depending on the factors before and after change. I haven't tested what factors the mainline kernel calculates for each frequency. The arisc never uses M, and only uses P at frequencies that would not allow for this behavior. I created a test program for arisc that runs a loop on the main CPU using msgbox to send pings to the arisc CPU, and the vary the PLL1 randomly from the arisc, and haven't been able to lockup the main CPU yet with either method. There's also AXI clock, that depends on PLL1. Arisc firmware uses the same method to change it while changing CPUX clock. If the clock would rise above certain frequency, AXI divider is increased before the PLL1 change. If it would fall below certain frequency it is decreased after the PLL1 change. Though, aw kernel has axi divider set to 3 for all PLL1 frequencies, so this has no effect in practice. It's all smoke and mirrors. :D > If so, then yes, trying to switch to the 24MHz oscillator before > applying the factors, and then switching back when the PLL is stable > would be a nice solution. > > I just checked, and all the SoCs we've had so far have that > possibility, so if it works, for now, I'd like to stick to that. It would need to be tested. U-boot does the change only once, while the kernel would be doing it all the time and between various frequencies and PLL settings. So the issues may show up with this solution too. >>>> + >>>> + if (FACTOR_GET(config->mshift, config->mwidth, reg) > req->m) { >>>> + reg = FACTOR_SET(config->mshift, config->mwidth, reg, req->m); >>>> + >>>> + writel(reg, factors->reg); >>>> + __delay(2000); >>>> + } >>>> + >>>> + if (FACTOR_GET(config->pshift, config->pwidth, reg) > req->p) { >>>> + reg = FACTOR_SET(config->pshift, config->pwidth, reg, req->p); >>>> + >>>> + writel(reg, factors->reg); >>>> + __delay(2000); >>>> + } >>> >>> However, this is kind of weird, why would you need to re-apply the >>> dividers?
