Hi Mike,
I encountered some trouble while I tried to implement code fitting to DTS
that you proposed. SIM_CLKDIVx are SIM device registers, not MCG.
Therefore, in MCG device code I won't be able to figure out clock rate
for outputed clocks unles I try to access SIM registers from MCG driver -
that's what we wanted to avoid. Looks like it's the mcgoutclk that we want
to expose not core, bus and the others:
soc {
mcg: clock-controller@40064000 {
compatible = "fsl,kinetis-mcg";
clock-cells = <0>;
reg = <0x40064000 0x14>;
clocks = <&osc0>, <&osc1>, <&rtc>;
clock-names = "osc0", "osc1", "rtc";
};
sim: clock-controller@40047000 {
compatible = "fsl,kinetis-sim";
clock-cells = <1>;
reg = <0x40047000 0x1100>;
clocks = <&mcg>,
<&osc0>;
clock-names = "mcgoutclk", "enet";
};
uart0: serial@4006a000 {
compatible = "fsl,kinetis-lpuart";
reg = <0x4006a000 0x1000>;
interrupts = <45>, <46>;
interrupt-names = "uart-stat", "uart-err";
clocks = <&sim SIM_SCGC4_UART0_CLK>;
clock-names = "ipg";
dmas = <&edma 0 2>;
dma-names = "rx";
status = "disabled";
};
};
Now fsl,kinetis-sim device will be responsible for clock gating and it
will know about core, bus, flexbus and flash clocks only internally -
none of them are exposed.
Also note that fec (ethernet device) driver is connected directly to osc0
(though clock gate, you can see this CG attached to osc0 on the diagram
too) - to control this gate I need to access SIM device registers, so it
should be covered by the same fsl,kinetis-sim driver.
