Yeah, sorry about not mentioning the affected platforms. I've included them now in this email. > I checked that we're fine for TB10x (we need COMMON_CLK anyway) but > since you weren't in copy I just wanted to make sure that none of the > other ARC platforms (which don't seem to select COMMON_CLK) use > designware i2c and thus run into trouble. > > If there is no designware i2c in any of your platforms, simply ignore > my message. From my point of view there is no need to move "select > COMMON_CLK" up to the ARC architecture level. I grepped for snps,i2c-designware from the kernel source tree and this is what I found: Only ARC that is using the driver: arch/arc/boot/dts/abilis_tb10x.dtsi -> OK Two ARMs that pass clock to the driver: arch/arm/boot/dts/berlin2q.dtsi -> OK arch/arm/boot/dts/socfpga.dts -> OK Following files have the designware driver listed but it seems to be disabled and does not get any clocks: arch/arm/boot/dts/nspire-cx.dts arch/arm/boot/dts/spear1310.dtsi arch/arm/boot/dts/spear320.dtsi arch/arm/boot/dts/spear3xx.dtsi arch/arm/boot/dts/spear600.dtsi I think we are good to go with the first three but not sure about the last five. Adding Viresh Kumar and Daniel Tang to the thread. Viresh, Daniel, The thread is here http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/390695/. In summary, we are adding COMMON_CLK dependency to the i2c-designware-platdrv.c in order to get clocks to one AMD DW based host controller and wanted to check that we don't break the existing users (nspire and SPEAR). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-i2c" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
