Some day maybe. That's what I meant when I wrote "does not support any fancy input configurations". The input config is horrendously complex. We have never used anything but just the xtal input, and I think that goes for 99.9% of the use cases for this chip. I already went way over budget with this one, my first intention was to write a driver that takes a firmware blob from the "clockbuilder" software, but while writing it I discovered that the whole damn thing could easily be controlled completely without it. > >> +- #address-cells: shall be set to 1. >> +- #size-cells: shall be set to 0. > > I'd expect to see all the input voltage supplies here too. > > vdd-supply > vdda-supply > vdds-supply > vdd0-supply > vdd1-supply > vdd2-supply > vdd3-supply > vdd4-supply > vdd5-supply > vdd6-supply > vdd7-supply > vdd8-supply > vdd9-supply I'll look into it.

Possibly with a table in the > clk driver to tell us how to generate those rates. The PLL frequency choice determines who'll get jitter and who won't. It's ridiculously accurate too. For example, if you need a 26 MHz and a 100 MHz output, there's no solution for the PLL that makes both clocks an integer divider (SI is vague about it, but apparently integer dividers have less jitter on output).

The driver can sort of see that the chips is already configured. This tells the driver whether that's expected or just coincidence. Maybe it'd be clearer if I reversed the logic and name this "silabs,preprogrammed", which will skip the driver's initialization routine? > >> + > > Looks like there is an interrupt pin?

The issue here is that supporting all that the chip can do in a driver will take weeks of programming, whereas the added value is next to nothing. I assumed the enable, step, and similar pins are for cpu-less operation, since they don't add any functionality (you can do all that through the I2C interface). > >> +==Child nodes== >> + >> +Each of the clock outputs can be overwritten individually by >> +using a child node to the I2C device node.

Silabs just assumes you'll use their clockbuilder software for writing these values, which is how we got to the "LVDS 3v3" values. I could put in a table of "common" values, so that you can say: silabs,output-standard = "lvds"; And then use the "raw" properties to expand or override on that. Extra defines might help, e.g.: silabs,format = <SI5341_FORMAT_DIFFERENTIAL>; >> +- clock-frequency: Sets a default frequency for this output. > > Why not use assigned-clock-rates? Suppose you want to have a synchronized audio and video clock. The audio needs a 1536000 Hz clock and video wants 36864000. The clocks must have the same parent (so they don't drift). Without pre-specifying the clocks, the video might probe first and change the synth to run at 73728000. The audio clock will then run at some undefined frequency until the driver probes. The audio hardware may not like that. If the audio probes first, it could program the synth to 3072000 for example. Then when the video probes, it needs to re-program the synth, and then the audio must adapt its divider. Another example, a serdes needs a 100MHz clock. This could set the synth to 200MHz, and that's fine. Another device needs a 200MHz clock. This can share the same synth, by programming it to 400MHz using a /4 and /2 divider. But if that 100MHz serdes is already up and running, changing the synth config will cause the serdes to lose its lock and result in transfer errors. This would not happen if the 200MHz device happens to probe before that serdes. The solution provided by the driver is that you can pre-set the synth to 400 and then both drivers can probe in any order they like. While the driver can change the muxing and dividers and multipliers, there's more to it that just "gimme a frequency". So I let the user describe a (partial) solution in the devicetree. >> +- always-on: Immediately and permanently enable this output.

My issue was that assigned-clocks does not call clk_prepare. If the clock is not running, assigned-clocks will not turn it on (at least, that is the case on the 4.14 kernel I tested this on), it apparently only prevents it from being turned off by marking it as "in use". This just provides a way to use assigned-clocks.
