I think I found the reason for the strange crashes we were
experiencing (emac core->name being NULL) thanks to Sekhar who pointed
me in the right direction.
The mdio driver fails to probe with v7 due to the supplied clock rate
being wrong. Before failing we register the emac clock with
pm_clk_add_clk(). When clock_ops puts the clock, it decreases the
reference count of the clock, but we never actually increased it in
the first place in the line above. The core clock code then destroys
the associated clk_core structure. When the next user comes around (in
our case the clk debug functions) the system crashes.
I believe there to be two issues: one is with v7 - we need to increase
the clock reference count in davinci_psc_genpd_attach_dev().
Second is the error path in the clock framework - we should remove the
destroyed clk_core from the debug list, which is not being done now.
Why we even need to track the refcount of clk_core is a mistery for me
though. Stephen, Mike?

Great find. I figured it had to be something like this, but I wasn't
able to reproduce the problem yet.
I suppose it is time to spin up a v8 with some fixes.
I still don't know why the mdio clock rate is much lower than in
mainline though. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bart
Now that you have fixed the crash, can you answer the questions I have
asked earlier?
Can you post the output of this command so that I can see how your
clocks are setup:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_summary
Using your workaround, can you run:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/pm_genpd/pm_genpd_summary
If you see:
1e27000.clock-controller: emac off-0
then genpd is not working like it is supposed to. You should see something
like this for device that are working:
1e27000.clock-controller: uart2 on
/devices/platform/soc@1c00000/1d0d000.serial active
Hi David, Sekhar,
I tried booting the board today over tftp but didn't succeed. I then
switched to a normal boot from SD card and the boot process froze at
the same moment (right after the DHCP config, or after rtc config if I
disabled DHCP in bootargs). I then realized that the emac clock can't
be the culprit. After some digging I found out that the late_initcall
to clk_disable_unused() disables sysclk6 - the parent of the arm
clock, which of course freezes the device.
If I remove the call to clk_disable_unused(), I can boot just fine.
The following other clocks are disabled before pll0_sysclk6:
pll1_sysclk3
pll0_obsclk
pll0_sysclk7
davinci_lpsc_clk_enable() is never called for these clocks - in fact
it's not called for any parent that's not explicitly defined in
psc-da850.c - I believe this may be one of the reasons. I will get
back to debugging it tomorrow.
Best regards,
Bartosz Golaszewski
Thanks for continuing to dig into this. I think I know what needs to
be done now. I think I don't have the dependencies quite right where
the PSC clocks are being registered before the PLL clocks, in which
case they aren't getting the correct parent clock.
