It appears to do nothing because, we are just enabling the clock provider to also act as interconnect provider. Only when the consumers are enabled with interconnect usage, this will create paths and turn on the relevant NOC clocks. This interconnect will be used by the PCIe and NSS blocks. When those patches were posted earlier, they were put on hold until interconnect driver is available. Once this patch gets in, PCIe for example will make use of icc. Please refer to https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-msm/20230519090219.15925-5-quic_devipriy@xxxxxxxxxxx/. The 'pcieX' nodes will include the following entries. interconnects = <&gcc MASTER_ANOC_PCIE0 &gcc SLAVE_ANOC_PCIE0>, <&gcc MASTER_SNOC_PCIE0 &gcc SLAVE_SNOC_PCIE0>; interconnect-names = "pcie-mem", "cpu-pcie"; > The expected reaction to "enabling interconnect" without defining the > required paths for your hardware would be a crash-on-sync_state, as all > unused (from Linux's POV) resources ought to be shut down. > > Because you lack sync_state, the interconnects silently retain the state > that they were left in (which is not deterministic), and that's precisely > what we want to avoid. I tried to set 'sync_state' to icc_sync_state to be invoked and didn't see any crash. Thanks Varada
