Understood, let's get rid of clock-names then. I see this is done in a few drivers already, but many also give it a name with a single clock. It would be nice if that was consistent across all drivers just so that the expectation is clear (that the best way for that to happen is probably to fix up a patch myself though). > > > And... shouldn't this also come with assigned-clock-rates etc., to set the > > > clock frequency? > > > > I'm a bit confused why we would need to do that in the device-tree rather than > > setting the clock rate with clk_set_rate in the driver, like any other driver > > does.

It's not exactly clear to me what was the conclusion from... https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20200401080705.j4goeqcqhoswhx4u@xxxxxxxxxxx/ > You can use clk_set_rate() if you get the frequency from DT, but we > recently did conclude that camera sensor drivers can expect to get the > frequency indicated by assigned-clock-rate property. ...but it looks like clock-frequency was preferred over assigned-clock-rates and this is what the binding that was merged suggests. Is that correct? I now understand that the clock frequency may depend on the system integration for this special case so we have to specify it via dt. > In other words, the driver may not be specific to a particular board and > SoC you have. Although this is sadly more than often the case, because handling a variable clock rate in the driver is quite complex (and even more with static init tables that include PLL configuration). And sadly my driver is no exception and only supports 24 MHz input. > Please also read Documentation/driver-api/media/camera-sensor.rst . Thanks, I hadn't seen that document before.
