The AD7192 needs to be configured according to the type of external clock that is applied on MCLK1/MCLK2 pins in order to activate the correct circuitry. Here are some citations from the datasheet: MCLK2 pin description: "The AD7192 has an internal 4.92 MHz clock. This internal clock can be made available on the MCLK2 pin. The clock for the AD7192 can be provided externally also in the form of a crystal or external clock. A crystal can be tied across the MCLK1 and MCLK2 pins. Alternatively, the MCLK2 pin can be driven with a CMOS-compatible clock and the MCLK1 pin left unconnected." Each of these clock modes have to be configured via AD7192 mode register. (Clock source configuration bits, mode register, CLK0 and CLK1). Here is their description from datasheet: "Either the on-chip 4.92 MHz clock or an external clock can be used. The ability to use an external clock allows several AD7192 devices to be synchronized. Also, 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection is improved when an accurate external clock drives the AD7192." The choice between internal clock, external crystal oscillator or external CMOS digital clock is a decision of the HW designer driven by noise rejection, synchronization, and cost requirements. If possible, I kindly ask you suggestions on how to adjust the description so that it would be cleaner. > > > > >> > >>> + adi,int-clock-output-enable: > >>> + description: | > >>> + When internal clock is selected, this bit enables clock out pin. > >>> + type: boolean > >> > >> And this one makes you a clock provider, so the devices advocate > >> position would be that you know that this bit should be set if > >> "clocks" is not present and a consumer requests a clock. > >> I don't seem to have got the driver patches (at least not in this > >> mailbox), so I have got no information on how you've actually implemented > >> this. > > > > I see...

I will remove the bit from the patch in V4. Thank you. The bit was already existing upstream in the driver, but I would just drop the change in documentation without any additional patch that removes it from the driver. Best regards, Fabrizio Lamarque
