The 2 values clock cell seems not the best approach for i.MX because it still needs to define all clocks in the driver which is exactly we want to avoid now due to some special HW characteristic: 1. clock resources may be allocated to different SW execution partition by firmware and A core may not have access rights for those clocks not belong to its partition. So we want to describe them in DT according to the partition configuration. 2. Each clock is associated with a different power domain which is better to be described in device tree. And clock state will be lost and need restore after power cycle of the domain. Based on above requirements, do you think we can do as below? //LSIO SS lsio_scu_clk: lsio-scu-clock-controller { compatible = "fsl,imx8qxp-clock", "fsl,scu-clk"; fspi0_clk: clock-fspi0{ #clock-cells = <0>; rsrc-id = <IMX_SC_R_FSPI_0>; clk-type = <IMX_SC_PM_CLK_PER>; power-domains = <&pd IMX_SC_R_FSPI_0>; }; fspi1_clk: clock-fspi1{ ... }; ... }; /* LPCG clocks */ lsio_lpcg_clk: lsio-lpcg-clock-controller { compatible = "fsl,imx8qxp-lpcg"; pwm0_lpcg: clock-controller@5d400000 { reg = <0x5d400000 0x10000>; #clock-cells = <1>; clocks = <&pwm0_clk>, <&pwm0_clk>, <&pwm0_clk>, <&lsio_bus_clk>, <&pwm0_clk>; bit-offset = <0 4 16 20 24>; clock-output-names = "pwm0_lpcg_ipg_clk", "pwm0_lpcg_ipg_hf_clk", "pwm0_lpcg_ipg_s_clk", "pwm0_lpcg_ipg_slv_clk", "pwm0_lpcg_ipg_mstr_clk"; power-domains = <&pd IMX_SC_R_PWM_0>; status = "disabled"; }; pwm1_lpcg: clock-controller@5d410000 { ... } ... }; And for users, it could simply be: usdhc1: mmc@5b010000 { clocks = <&sdhc0_lpcg 1>, <&sdhc0_lpcg 0>, <&sdhc0_lpcg 2>; clock-names = "ipg", "per", "ahb"; assigned-clocks = <&sdhc0_clk>; assigned-clock-rates = <200000000>; .... }; Regards Dong Aisheng > > +- clock-output-names: Shall be the corresponding names of the outputs. > > + > > +Optional properties: > > +- clocks: Shall be the input parent clock(s) phandle for the clock. > > + For multiplexed clocks, the list order must match the hardware > > + programming order. > > + > > +Legacy Clock binding (DEPRECATED): > > - #clock-cells: Should be 1.
