Sure, this can potentially be a reason to not using the real clock node and just use a hardcoded clock frequency for now, until the other clock change is merged, then you can submit another patch to use it. Also, is it not better to make the UARTs a static clock > and not dependent on the clk driver? > I disagree. You should always use the real clock driver for querying the clock frequency, in the case when the clock driver is available. Today one can change the core clock for UART in the bootloader for various reasons (and we saw that happening a lot in the past), which in this case will make your kernel not seeing any console output. By always querying the clock rate based on real registers instead of a hardcoded value, you don't have that issue and your kernel is less dependent on any changes in the bootloader. > Thanks, > Jon > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
