Or (after having a look at the TRM) I should rather say: the invert-clac
is fine by me :-) but the tft-clksel doesn't work, I afraid.
If I'm not mistaken, there are two problems with it.
Number one: it's not TFT-specific, is it? So it certainly should not
have the "tft-" bit.
Number two: setting this bit says "do not use CLCDCLK for the logic; use
HCLK instead", correct? If so, have a look at the clock properties. They
say:
- clock-names: should contain "clcdclk" and "apb_pclk"
- clocks: contains phandle and clock specifier pairs for the entries
in the clock-names property. See
So if your hardware has the reference clock wired to HCLK, and you
defining the clocks as "clcdclk", you are (no offence meant ;-)
lying :-)
So how about solving the problem by extending the clock-names definition
like this (feel free to use own wording):
- clock-names: should contain two clocks, either "clcdclk" or "hclk"
(depending on which input is to be used as a reference
clock by the controller logic) and "apb_pclk"
That way you're precisely describing the way the hardware is wired up.
And the driver simply tries to get clcdclk first, if it's defined -
cool, set clksel to 1, if not - try hclk and set clksel to 0. If neither
of them is present - bail out.
Does this make any sense?
