Can you please check that and confirm there is no issue with genpd and
using CLK_OF_DECLARE() to initialize clocks?
Unless you report an issue back, or Mike and Stephen have ideas about
how to handle the dependency between PSC/PLL derived timer clock
initialization and and timer_probe(), I think we need to move back to
using CLK_OF_DECLARE().
In such a case, please use the hybrid approach where the clks required
for the clockevent and/or clocksource are registered in the early
CLK_OF_DECLARE path but the rest of the clks get registered with a
proper platform device and driver. There are examples of this approach
on other platforms already.
I looked at this a bit last week, but I didn't come up with any approach
that I was happy with. It seems like it would be nice to just register
the absolute minimum clocks needed. On DA8XX, that would just be the PLL0
AUXCLK. On most of the other SoCs, it would be the PLL AUXCLK plus one
LPSC clock. The AUXCLKs are easy because they are just a simple gate
from the oscillator. The LPSC clocks are a bit more tricky because they
have a complex sequence for turning on. Furthermore, on DM646X, we need
the whole PLL up to SYSCLK3 plus one LPSC clock, so things get a bit
messy there.
Things might change in the context of work being done here by Bartosz
for converting clocks to early platform devices.
But, keeping that development aside for a moment: I think this means the
PLLs and PSCs need to be CLK_OF_DECLARE(). What we can have as platform
devices are clocks that are not in the path to get timer clock working
(like CFGCHIP clocks).
CLK_OF_DECLARE() only matters on DA850. None of the other SoCs use device
tree. And on DA850, the timer0 clock is just the PLL0 AUXCLK, so PSCs can
still be platform devices there. And in fact, one of the PSC clocks on
DA850 depends on async3, which is a CFGCHIP clock, so if we made the PSCs
CLK_OF_DECLARE(), then we also have to make at least the async3 CFGCHIP
clock CLK_OF_DECLARE(). But, like I said, I think that can be avoided by
leaving the PSC clocks as a platform device on DA850 (and DA830).
For everything else, we need the legacy board file equivalent of
CLK_OF_DECLARE(), which is basically what I had here in v5 of the
series.
So, if we want this to keep moving before the if/when of Bartosz's
early platform device stuff, I'm thinking that I will make the PLL
and PSC drivers loadable with or without a platform device and let
each SoC pick which one it should use.
