I'm not sure I understand the question. I don't think that the fixed-rate-clocks have a close relation to the clock-frequency or the ciu clock. The fixed-rate-clock entries for a board usually specify the root clock source for a board. For instance in exynos5250-snow you can see: fixed-rate-clocks { xxti { compatible = "samsung,clock-xxti"; clock-frequency = <24000000>; }; }; Other clocks in the board are derived from this clock through PLLs, muxes, dividers, gates, etc. On 5250 we have: fin_pll (xxti) -> fout_mpll -> fout_mplldiv2 -> mout_mpll_fout -> sclk_mpll -> sclk_mpll_user -> mout_mmc1 -> div_mmc1 div_mmc_pre1 -> sclk_mmc1 In 5250 the ciu clock for mmc1 is sclk_mmc1, which is a simple gate. When you "enable" this clock it, ungates it. The sclk_mmc1 has the flag CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT on it. That means when you try to set the rate it will involve the parent clock (div_mmc_pre1). The parent clock also has CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT, so it can also involve div_mmc1. I haven't dug through to see how the clock framework splits up divides between div_mmc1 and div_mmc_pre1, but it's supposed to handle that. We don't allow clk_set_rate to percolate any higher (no CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT at mout_mmc1). -Doug -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
