I was actually primarily aiming at solving the Rock 5 ITX clock generator issue described in patch 5, where the 100 MHz clock generator is just described as "100MHz,3.3V,3225" in the schematics, but definitly needs the supply regulator to be enabled [1]. The Theobroma boards were addons because I felt they could also describe the hardware better instead of lumping together 2 existing bindings. > > + - diodes,pi6c557-05b > > + - const: clock-generator > > + > > + "#clock-cells": > > + const: 0 > > + > > + clock-frequency: true > > + > > + clock-output-names: > > + maxItems: 1 > > + > > + enable-gpios: > > + description: > > + Contains a single GPIO specifier for the GPIO that enables and disables > > + the clock generator. > > + maxItems: 1 > > + > > + vdd-supply: > > + description: handle of the regulator that provides the supply voltage > > + > > +required: > > + - compatible > > + - "#clock-cells" > > + - clock-frequency > > This is the same required properties as fixed rate clocks.
