I proposed something similar about a year ago, but Mark rejected that
at the time. This RFC is to start that discussion again. This time
before I do any code changes.
What's the use case again? Can we address this by converting the
relevant drivers to the clock API (or improving their clock API
support)?
Sorry, I forgot to reply this earlier. The reason why we need this is
the way McASP driver uses and provides clocks for different purposes.
The most pressing need is to be able to select if we want to use some
external clock pin as an input for McASP clock divider that produces the
i2s bit-clock or if we want to use McASP's internal clock source.
There are several other things this binding would allow us, and others
with flexible i2s HW, to do. Some TI codecs would also benefit from a
flexible way of describing the used clock configuration, but Peter know
that part better.
I tried to make the binding as flexible and generic as possible. But I
do not currently see any immediate need for more than one set_sysclk()
call per dai. I just did not see any reason to not allow it either.
Best regards,
Jyri
