This does not resolve mine and Conor's concerns from previous version.
External clocks are defined as clock inputs.

No matter the external or internal reference clock, they are the clock
source selection for CMN, there are only 48MHZ can be external or
internal, other clocks have the different clock rate, so the internal
48MHZ reference clock can be implied when the
"qcom,cmn-ref-clock-frequency" is not defined, which is suggested by
Conor in the previous
comments.

I don't think he proposed it, but maybe I missed some message (care to
point me to his message where he agreed on usage of
qcom,cmn-ref-clock-frequency?). I am pretty sure we both stayed on the
same page, that the presence of clocks defines choice of internal clock.
This property should go away.

Exactly, I wanted this property to be removed. My suggestion was about
defaulting to the internal clock when the "clocks" property did not
contain the cmn ref clock.

There are two internal reference clock sources 48MHZ and 96MHZ.

On which devices? Paste entire picture, not half-baked descriptions.

On IPQ9574, the default reference clock source is internal 48MHZ, but
the internal 96MHZ is also configurable on IPQ9574.

If it imply the internal reference clock used by the combination of
the absent of the property and the compatible string, which can't
distinguish the internal 48MHZ and internal 96MHZ on ipq9574.

Since all the reference clock sources have the different clock rate
except for 48MHZ that has internal and external 48MHZ, we just needs
to imply the internal 48MHZ used when the property is absent, other
clock sources are decided by the frequency value of the property.


The 96MHZ is used on ipq5018 currently as i said in the previous
message, but it is also possible to used on ipq9574 per double checked,
since the possible reference clock source should be kept as configurable
and the clock source should not be limited on the specific IPQ platform,
since the clock source is configurable, the different clock source maybe
required by the different board design.

I don't see how this answers anything about our suggestions.

The reference clock source can be distinguished by the frequency value
as described above.

Without limiting the reference clock source with the compatible string,
the reference clock sources can be kept configurable on IPQ platform,
which makes the MDIO driver code extensible.


Best regards,
Krzysztof
