It's not about being simple, but not doing the wrong way, here you are relying on a platform specific clock in a driver, think about the case where same IP is used on another platform. Either way it is not a good thing to handle platform specific details (about disp_clk) in driver. And Mike mentioned that one of design goals of CCF is to model these kinds of clocks in IP's. > >> + /* Configure the LCD clock divisor. */ > >> + tilcdc_write(dev, LCDC_CTRL_REG, LCDC_CLK_DIVISOR(div) | > >> + LCDC_RASTER_MODE); > >> + > >> + if (priv->rev == 2) > >> + tilcdc_set(dev, LCDC_CLK_ENABLE_REG, > >> + LCDC_V2_DMA_CLK_EN | LCDC_V2_LIDD_CLK_EN | > >> + LCDC_V2_CORE_CLK_EN); > > > > Mike was suggesting to model the above using gate/divider/composite > > clocks of CCF in the FB driver. > >> + priv->clk = clk_get(dev->dev, "fck"); > >> + if (IS_ERR(priv->clk)) { > >> + dev_err(dev->dev, "failed to get functional clock\n"); > >> + ret = -ENODEV; > >> + goto fail; > >> + } > >> + > >> + priv->disp_clk = clk_get(dev->dev, "dpll_disp_ck"); > >> + if (IS_ERR(priv->clk)) { > >> + dev_err(dev->dev, "failed to get display clock\n"); > >> + ret = -ENODEV; > >> + goto fail; > >> + } > > > > "dpll_disp_ck" is a platform specific matter, driver should not > > be handling platform specifics.

The only option for the driver in DaVinci is to configure clock rate using the divider of LCDC IP, it has "fck", which gives a rate decided by its ancestors.
