[QUESTION] Convert axg-audio-clkc to YAML format

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Previously we discussed how to implement dt-schema for audio clock controller in
Amlogic SoC [1]. Also, there was an earlier attempt to convert to yaml [2].

Let me remind you that the problem is that only "pclk" clock of this controller.
Other clocks are optional and they are allowed to be not routed.

I can suggest two approaches how to deal with this. Could you please tell me
which of them is more correct?

Approach 1: use 'additionalItems' to declare optional clocks.
Pros: 
 - it is short and simple;
 - no need to modify existing DTSIs.
Cons:
 - checking works but 'additionalItems' doesn't expect no-boolean value [3]
 - there is reasoning that all clocks should be specified ragardless if they are
   used or not [3][4].

Approach 2: assume that all clocks are mandatory and declare all of them.
Pros:
 - it is more common and compatible with existing meta-schemas;
 - may be architecturally it is more correct.
Cons:
 - boilerplate in schema and in DTSIs;
 - requires modification of existing DTSIs.
