The CPU clock controller plays a general role in the Amlogic A1 SoC
family by generating CPU clocks. As an APB slave module, it offers the
capability to inherit the CPU clock from two sources: the internal fixed
clock known as 'cpu fixed clock' and the external input provided by the
A1 PLL clock controller, referred to as 'syspll'.
It is important for the driver to handle the cpu_clk rate switching
effectively by transitioning to the CPU fixed clock to avoid any
potential execution freezes.
Validation:
* to double-check all clk flags, run the below helper script:
```
pushd /sys/kernel/debug/clk
for f in *; do
if [[ -f "$f/clk_flags" ]]; then
flags="$(cat $f/clk_flags | awk '{$1=$1};1' | sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ | /g')"
echo -e "$f: $flags"
fi
done
popd
```
* to trace the current clks state, use the
'/sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_dump' node with jq post-processing:
```
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_dump | jq '.' > clk_dump.json
```
* to see the CPU clock hierarchy, use the
'/sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_summary' node with jq post-processing:
```
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_summary | jq '.' > clk_dump.json
```
when cpu_clk is inherited from sys_pll, it should be:
```
syspll_in 1 1 0 24000000 0 0 50000 Y deviceless no_connection_id
sys_pll 2 2 0 1200000000 0 0 50000 Y deviceless no_connection_id
cpu_clk 1 1 0 1200000000 0 0 50000 Y cpu0 no_connection_id
cpu0 no_connection_id
fd000000.clock-controller dvfs
deviceless no_connection_id
```
and from cpu fixed clock:
```
fclk_div3_div 1 1 0 512000000 0 0 50000 Y deviceless no_connection_id
fclk_div3 4 4 0 512000000 0 0 50000 Y deviceless no_connection_id
cpu_fsource_sel0 1 1 0 512000000 0 0 50000 Y deviceless no_connection_id
cpu_fsource_div0 1 1 0 128000000 0 0 50000 Y deviceless no_connection_id
cpu_fsel0 1 1 0 128000000 0 0 50000 Y deviceless no_connection_id
cpu_fclk 1 1 0 128000000 0 0 50000 Y deviceless no_connection_id
cpu_clk 1 1 0 128000000 0 0 50000 Y cpu0 no_connection_id
cpu0 no_connection_id
fd000000.clock-controller dvfs
deviceless no_connection_id
```
* to debug cpu clk rate propagation and proper parent switching, compile
kernel with the following definition:
$ sed -i "s/undef CLOCK_ALLOW_WRITE_DEBUGFS/define CLOCK_ALLOW_WRITE_DEBUGFS/g" drivers/clk/clk.c
after that, clk_rate debug node for each clock will be available for
write operation
Changes v2 since v1 at [1]:
- introduce new 'INIT_ONCE' flag to eliminate init for already
enabled PLL
- explain why we need to break ABI for a1-pll driver by adding
sys_pll connections
- implement sys_pll init sequence, which is applicable when sys_pll
is disabled
- remove CLK_IS_CRITICAL from sys_pll
- move sys_pll_div16 binding to the end per Rob's suggestion
- add Rob's RvB
- remove holes from the beginning of the cpu clock controller regmap
- move a1-cpu.h registers offsets definition to a1-cpu.c
- set CLK_SET_RATE_GATE for parallel cpu fixed clock source trees
per Martin's and Jerome's suggestion
- redesign clock notifier block from cpu_clk to sys_pll to keep
cpu_clock working continuously (the same implementation is located
in the g12a clock driver)
