Mike, Anatolij, this is a HEADS UP for the clock and mpc5xxx
maintainers:  This patch will break the recently introduced CCF
support for MPC512x (currently sitting in -next, to get merged
for 3.14), and requires some adjustment.

Either the clk_{read,write}l_default() routines' bodies need to
depend on the architecture, or the clk_ll_ops_default structure
needs to get preset differently depending on the architecture.

For least intrusive changes in future use, adding a routine which
allows to register a different ll_ops structure could be most
appropriate.  That would allow to pre-set the ll_ops structure
with the readl()/writel() implementation (current state of
mainline code, working for the ARM architecture and maybe other
little endian peripherals), and allows to register the
ioread32be()/iowrite32be() routines for PowerPC, or whatever
other platforms or architectures will require.

Expecting each individual clock item registration to specify a
differing set of ll_ops if readl()/writel() are not appropriate
would look weird to me.


Further I'd suggest to split this register access aspect out of
the TI clock series, and to prepare it already for regmap style
access to the hardware registers.  See the next comment below.

I'd suggest to add a "strct clk_ll_ops" pointer to the routines'
list of arguments, and to add some "user data" pointer to the
struct.

This would provide more than the "reg" pointer to the routine,
e.g. to determine an offset within a register set, and/or to hold
a regmap handle.

Not adding this extension now would lead to our queueing several
patches which will result in potential conflicts, or requiring
more cycles than necessary to achieve a working state for
currently pending changes.


There is another issue with this series:  It introduces
"alternative" _default() routines (which are verbatim copies of
the static inlines from the header), then adjusts the basic clock
types (div, gate, mux), but does not remove the then obsolete
static inlines from the header.

Tero, can you please verify whether the clk_readl() and
clk_writel() routines from <linux/clock-provider.h> become
obsolete with your patch, or whether any unchanged users remain?


Are other parts of v12 still stuck?  I only saw 15 of 49 patches.


virtually yours
