Can you give an example of which clocks on which SoC's ?
See for example 67fb53745e0b

This was a clock documented downstream under the node-qos clocks here:

https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel/blob/aosp/LA.UM.5.7.r1/arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom/msm8996-bus.dtsi#L102-L109

but there are occasions where such clocks are undocumented and downstream
skips them because it relies on them being on by miracle, such as the case
of MASTER_IPA and the IPA rpmcc clock on msm8998. Downstream has no
sync_state, so they would only set the QoS registers when the relevant
hardware was online, so the clocks were on already.

What switched the clocks on ? Presumably LK.

Is this a symptom of using a bootloader other than LK ? If you use the same bootloader, then why hasn't the bootloader/LK already set it up on your platform ?


Is the intention of this patch to subsequently go through *.dts *.dtsi and start to remove assigned-clocks ?

Are we saying that currently there ought to be assigned-clocks for some of these NoC declarations ?
Not really, assigned-clocks are used for static ratesetting, see
for example dwc3 nodes where we need it to be fast enough for
HS/SS operation at all times (though that should have prooobably
been handled in the driver but it's a separate topic), I don't
think any of them were used to combat what this commit tries to.

I think you could use assigned-clocks for that ..

So its not part of your series but then presumably you have a follow-on patch for the 8998 dts that points your ->intf_clks at these then ?

clocks = <&clock_gcc clk_aggre2_noc_clk>,
         <&clock_gcc clk_gcc_ufs_axi_clk>,
         <&clock_gcc clk_gcc_aggre2_ufs_axi_clk>;

It seems like the right thing to do..

Still not clear why these clocks are off.. your bootchain ?
