It works so you can have my Tested-by: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> I'm still concerned about the patch where we figure out if the clocks are shared. I worry about a configuration where there are different clocks for on/off (i.e. gates) that are per-cpu but they all source from the same divider or something that is per-cluster. In DT this may be described as different clock provider outputs for the gates and in the cpu node we would have different clock specifiers but in reality all the CPUs in that cluster are affected by the same frequency scaling. In this case we'll need to get help from the clock framework to determine that those gates clocks don't have any .set_rate() callback so they can't actually change rate independently, and then walk up the tree to their parents to see if they have a common ancestor that does change rates. That's where it becomes useful to have a clock framework API for this, like clk_shares_rate(struct clk *clk, struct clk *peer) or something that can hide all this from cpufreq. Here's what I think it would look like (totally untested/uncompiled): static struct clk *find_rate_changer(struct clk *clk) { if (!clk) return NULL; do { /* Rate could change by changing parents */ if (clk->num_parents > 1) return clk; /* Rate could change by calling clk_set_rate() */ if (clk->ops->set_rate) return clk; /* * This is odd, clk_set_rate() doesn't propagate * and this clock can't change rate or parents * so we must be at the root and the clock we * started at can't change rates. Just return the * root so that we can see if the other clock shares * the same root although CPUfreq should never care. */ if (!(clk->flags & CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT)) return clk; } while ((clk = clk->parent)) return NULL; } bool clk_shares_rate(struct clk *clk, struct clk *peer) { struct clk *p1, *p2; p1 = find_rate_changer(clk); p2 = find_rate_changer(peer) return p1 == p2; } -- Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. is a member of Code Aurora Forum, hosted by The Linux Foundation -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
