Besides the core clk, berlin SoCs have one AXI clock. Usually, we have two
solutions:
solA: as current patch does, take "marvell,xenon-sdhci" as compatible string
and make the AXI clock property optional. Usually for berlin SoCs, we don't need
special properties.
PS: this solution is also what sdhci-pxav3.c takes
solB: As Rob said, add extra SoC compatible strings, so we'll have
something like:
static const struct of_device_id sdhci_xenon_of_match[] = {
{ .compatible = "marvell,armada-3700-sdhci", },
{ .compatible = "marvell,berlin4ct-sdhci", },
...
{ .compatible = "marvell,berlinxxx-mmc", },
}
then we take care the AXI clk for berlin SoCs in the code.
Which solution do you prefer?
Thanks,
Jisheng
