The amba bus and pl330 should enable the clock and then disable it after probing: static int amba_probe(struct device *dev) { ... ret = amba_get_enable_pclk(pcdev); ... I wonder why do you think it is not enabled at all? > > This only happens with the multi_v7_defconfig, because the PL330 DMA is > getting built into the kernel, while the socfpga_defconfig does not > enable the PL330. It makes sense. If pl330 driver is not enabled then necessary clocks are turned on by bootloader. Probing pl330 effectively disables the clock (if DMA is not used). > The DTS for the socfpga platform looks like this: > > pdma: pdma@ffe01000 { > compatible = "arm,pl330", "arm,primecell"; > reg = <0xffe01000 0x1000>; > interrupts = <0 104 4>, > <0 105 4>, > ... > #dma-cells = <1>; > #dma-channels = <8>; > #dma-requests = <32>; > clocks = <&l4_main_clk>; > clock-names = "apb_pclk"; > }; > > Perhaps I have the wrong designation for clock-names and the amba bus is > not able to pick up the correct clock? I have two ideas: 1. Is this really the clock for the DMA? If DMA is not used then disabling it should be OK. 2. Disabling the clock may effectively disable its parent or grandparent if there are not more users. Maybe some other driver needs these parents to be enabled? This was the issue for at least one similar error (on Exynos boards).
