Re: [PATCH v2 0/7] drm: sun4i: set proper TCON0 DCLK rate in DSI mode

Maxime, Jernej, I was trying to understand why pll-video0 is not updated
and I tracked down the culprit to ccu_nkm.c.

To better understand what's going on I've extended the clk_rate_request

In line 1 we can see that a rate of 108 MHz is requested for
tcon-data-clock. In lines 2 and 3 this is forwarded to tcon0 and
pll-mipi (432 MHz). What surprised me, is that there is no request to
set the rate of pll-video0. Instead pll-mipi (and subsequently tcon0)
are set to 431.2 MHz (lines 4,5) and consequently tcon-data-clock is at
107.8 MHz (line 6) as I also reported in my previous mail (see quote
above).

When figuring out the call stack, I traced the whole thing down to
ccu_nkm_determine_rate(). The simplified call stack looks like this:

clk_set_rate(tcon-data-clock, 108MHz)
   clk_core_set_rate_nolock(tcon-data-clock, 108MHz)
      clk_core_req_round_rate_nolock(tcon-data-clock, 108MHz)
         clk_core_round_rate_nolock(tcon-data-clock, 108MHz)
            sun4i_dclk_round_rate(tcon-data-clock)
               clk_hw_round_rate(tcon0, 432MHz)
                  clk_core_round_rate_nolock(tcon0, 432MHz)
                     clk_mux_determine_rate_flags(tcon0, 432MHz)
                        clk_core_round_rate_nolock(pll-mipi, 432MHz)
                           ccu_nkm_determine_rate(pll-mipi, 432MHz)

Looking at ccu_nkm_determine_rate(), we've found our culprit because it
does not try parent clock rates other than the current one. The same
applies to all other ccu_nkm_* functions.

So, I can see two options:
 a. Set pll-video0 to 297 MHz on boot
 b. Add functionality to ccu_nkm_* to also update the parent clock rate.

I'm actually interested in tackling b, but I can't make any promises as
to if and when I'll be able to solve it. I'm not certain about any side
effects this might have.

Until then, is option a acceptable in mainline?

Thanks,
  Frank
