I haven't dug all the way into the hardware to figure out why (or if this is really necessary), but right now the rockchip power domain driver only leaves these clocks on during the powering on and powering off of the power domain. In other words to turn on the power domain: 1. Turn on all clocks 2. Flip the bit that sets the power domain on 3. Wait until hardware says power domain is on. 4. Turn off all the clocks. ...and to turn off: 1. Turn on all clocks 2. Flip the bit that sets the power domain off 3. Wait until hardware says power domain is off. 2. Turn off all the clocks. ...if the above is actually necessary when turning on and off power domains then it seems like it is actually describing the hardware. Maybe someone Jinkun can tell us why? -Doug -- 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
