While reviewing Dhu's patch adding ls1c300 clock support to U-Boot [1], I noticed the following calculation, which is copied from drivers/clk/loongson1/clk-loongson1c.c: ulong ls1c300_pll_get_rate(struct clk *clk) { unsigned int mult; long long parent_rate; void *base; unsigned int val; parent_rate = clk_get_parent_rate(clk); base = (void *)clk->data; val = readl(base + START_FREQ); mult = FIELD_GET(FRAC_N, val) + FIELD_GET(M_PLL, val); return (mult * parent_rate) / 4; } I would like to examine the use of M_PLL and FRAC_N to calculate the multiplier for the PLL. The datasheet has the following to say: START_FREQ 位 缺省值 描述 ========== ===== =========== ==================================== FRAC_N 23:16 0 PLL 倍频系数的小数部分 由 PLL 倍频系数的整数部分 M_PLL 15:8 NAND_D[3:0] (理论可以达到 255,建议不要超过 100) 配置 which according to google translate means START_FREQ Bits Default Description ========== ===== ============= ================================================ FRAC_N 23:16 0 Fractional part of the PLL multiplication factor Depends on Integer part of PLL multiplication factor M_PLL 15:8 NAND_D[3:0] (Theoretically it can reach 255, [but] it is configuration recommended not to exceed 100) So just based on this description, I would expect that the formula to be something like rate = parent * (255 * M_PLL + FRAC_N) / 255 / 4 However, the datasheet also gives the following formula: rate = parent * (M_PLL + FRAC_N) / 4 which is what the Linux driver has implemented. I find this very unusual. First, the datasheet specifically says that these fields are the integer and fractional parts of the multiplier. Second, I think such a construct does not easily map to traditional PLL building blocks. Implementing this formula in hardware would likely require an adder, just to then set the threshold of a clock divider. I think it is much more likely that the first formula is correct. The author of the datasheet may think of a multiplier of (say) 3.14 as M_PLL = 3 FRAC_N = 0.14 which together sum to the correct multiplier, even though the actual value stored in FRAC_N would be 36. I suspect that this has slipped by unnoticed because when FRAC_N is 0, there is no difference in the formulae. The following patch is untested, but I suspect it will fix this issue. I would appreciate if anyone with access to the hardware could measure the output of the PLL (or one of its derived clocks) and determine the correct formula.
