Hi Geert, I think I figured out a solution, see below: On Tue, Dec 07, 2021 at 03:16:22PM +0100, Geert Uytterhoeven wrote: > On Tue, Dec 7, 2021 at 3:10 PM Gabriel L.

Oh, it doesn't ;-) Assuming LiteX's `litex_json2dts_linux.py` is modified to include: ... clocks { sys_clk: litex_sys_clk { #clock-cells = <0>; compatible = "fixed-clock"; clock-frequency = <50000000>; }; }; ... in the generated .dts (where `clock-frequency` is whatever the sys_clk happens to be for that particular SoC gateware), we can then write the mmc node like so: soc { ... mmc0: mmc@12005000 { compatible = "litex,mmc"; reg = <0x12005000 0x100>, <0x12003800 0x100>, <0x12003000 0x100>, <0x12004800 0x100>, <0x12004000 0x100>; reg-names = "phy", "core", "reader", "writer", "irq"; clocks = <&sys_clk>; interrupt-parent = <&L1>; interrupts = <4>; }; ... }; The LiteSDCard clock initialization can then look like this: ... /* initialize clock source */ clk = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, NULL); if (IS_ERR(clk)) { ret = PTR_ERR(clk); dev_err(&pdev->dev, "can't get clock: %d\n", ret); goto err; } host->freq = clk_get_rate(clk); /* source (sys_clock) frequency */ host->clock = 0; /* calculated sdclock frequency */ ... As discussed before, I'll post a `litex_json2dts_linux.py` patch once we've settled on a mutually agreeable solution, but I think this might be it. If you agree, I'll also update the DT binding document to require `clocks` as part of the mmc node. I tested this in my v3 candidate, and it seems to be working OK. LMK what you think, and/or if you have any suggestions for additional improvements. Thanks again, --Gabriel
