This is v5 and still bindings are here? Bindings are always separate
patches. Use subject prefixes matching the subsystem (git log --oneline
-- ...).

And this was split, wasn't it? What happened here?!?

Put bindings and clock driver patch together from Jerome. Maybe you can read this chat history.
https://lore.kernel.or/all/1jy1v6z14n.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Jerome was asking you to send 2 patchsets, one with :
- bindings in separate patches
- drivers in separate patches
and a second with DT changes.
Indeed, this is what was asked. It is aligned with Krzysztof's request.

According to your discussion, I still should send patches in the previous
way in series. But I'm going to change it like you suggested.
I don't know, am I getting it right?

3 people tried to explain this already and we all told you the same thing.

* 1 patchset per maintainer: clk and dt
* bindings must be dedicated patches - never mixed with driver code.

I strongly suggest that you take some time to (re)read:
* https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html
* https://docs.kernel.org/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.html

If still unclear, please take some time to look at the kernel mailing
list archive and see how others have done the same things.

Thx.

I'll change it as you suggest.But I still don't understand what you suggested in V3.

I remember discussing it with you at V3.

No - There is only 2 series. 1 for the bindings and clock drivers and
one for the DT once things are in"

Please send the following emails:

* First patchset

[PATCH V6 0/3] clk: meson: Add S4 SoC PLL and Peripheral clock controller
	[PATCH v6 1/3] dt-bindings: clock: document Amlogic S4 SoC PLL & peripheral clock controller
	[PATCH v6 2/3] clk: meson: add support for Amlogic S4 SoC PLL
	[PATCH v6 3/3] clk: meson: add support for Amlogic S4 SoC peripheral clock controller

1) will contain only .yaml and dt-bindings include
2) will only have drivers/clk/meson changes
3) will only have drivers/clk/meson changes

* Second patchset:

[PATCH v1 0/2] arm64: dts: meson: Add S4 SoC PLL and Peripheral clock nodes
	[PATCH v1 1/2] arm64: dts: meson: add S4 Soc PLL clock controller node
	[PATCH v1 2/2] arm64: dts: meson: add S4 Soc Peripheral clock controller node

1) is the patch 3 of v5 patchset
2) is the patch 4 of v5 patchset

And in the second cover letter, explain those patches comes from the previous V5 patchset
and add a link to the V6 "drivers + bindings" patchset as a dependency.

Neil





Then when the bindings + clocks patches are merged, a pull request of the bindings
can be done to me so I can merge it with DT.

This belongs to bindings patch, not driver.

NAK.

I remember Jerome discussing this with you.You can look at this submission history.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/c088e01c-0714-82be-8347-6140daf56640@xxxxxxxxxx/

Historically we did that by only exposing part of the numbers, controlling which
clocks were part of the bindings.

But it seems this doesn't make sens anymore, maybe it would be time to put all the
clock ids in the bindings for this new SoC and break with the previous strategy.
Krzysztof and I agreed there is nothing wrong with the current
approach, I believe.
It does not prevent someone from using an un-exposed clock, sure, or
exposing it in the future if necessary.
However, I think it clearly shows that an un-exposed element is not
expected to be used by an external consumers. It should be enough to
trigger a discussion if this expectation is wrong.


So the outcome of the previous discussion was somewhere later in that
thread:

It is just a choice to not expose some IDs.
It is not tied to the implementation at all.
I think we actually follow the rules and the idea behind it.


Best regards,
Krzysztof
