A somewhat related question, how do you see the CLKSEL bit in the TIM2
register will be supported in the future? There are some cases where the
CLKSEL bit needs to be set, and therefore the "CLCDCLK" instead of "HCLK"
reference clock source is selected.

I think it's very simple:

The DT node usually looks like so:

display@10120000 {
        compatible = "arm,pl110", "arm,primecell";
(...)
        clocks = <&oscclk4>, <&pclk>;
        clock-names = "clcd", "apb_pclk";

Just add a custom attribute pointing to the
reference clock in this array:

clcd-reference-clock = <0>;

If this is set to <1> "apb_pclk" (i.e. HCLK) is
the reference, and that bit in TIM2 gets set.

This looks good!


Do you have a system that needs this?


Yah, we have a system (Cygnus) that can either use the HCLK, or an external clock generated from a PLL. To get certain pixel clock frequencies (depending on the LCD panel we use), we need to use the external clock source with the PLL configured to a particular VCO frequency.

We have not enabled full LCD/video support on that platform in the mainline kernel, but we'll eventually get to it.

Yours,
Linus Walleij


Thanks,

Ray
