Well, my patch was just an informal proposal, and Doug pointed one thing that needs to be addressed before considering this approach: we are breaking clk users that expect clk_disable/unprepare() to be synchronous even when they're called before clk_disable_unused(). Mike, Stephen, any idea how to solve this problem properly? > > Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon at free-electrons.com> > Signed-off-by: Elaine Zhang <zhangqing at rock-chips.com> > --- > drivers/clk/clk.c | 29 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- > 1 file changed, 27 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/clk/clk.c b/drivers/clk/clk.c > index fc58c52a26b4..3f61374a364b 100644 > --- a/drivers/clk/clk.c > +++ b/drivers/clk/clk.c > @@ -58,6 +58,8 @@ struct clk_core { > struct clk_core *new_child; > unsigned long flags; > bool orphan; > + bool keep_enabled; > + bool keep_prepared; > unsigned int enable_count; > unsigned int prepare_count; > unsigned long min_rate; > @@ -486,7 +488,7 @@ static void clk_core_unprepare(struct clk_core *core) > > trace_clk_unprepare(core); > > - if (core->ops->unprepare) > + if (core->ops->unprepare && !core->keep_prepared) > core->ops->unprepare(core->hw); > > trace_clk_unprepare_complete(core); > @@ -602,7 +604,7 @@ static void clk_core_disable(struct clk_core *core) > > trace_clk_disable_rcuidle(core); > > - if (core->ops->disable) > + if (core->ops->disable && !core->keep_enabled) > core->ops->disable(core->hw); > > trace_clk_disable_complete_rcuidle(core); > @@ -739,6 +741,12 @@ static void clk_unprepare_unused_subtree(struct clk_core *core) > hlist_for_each_entry(child, &core->children, child_node) > clk_unprepare_unused_subtree(child); > > + /* > + * Reset the ->keep_prepared flag so that subsequent calls to > + * clk_unprepare() on this clk actually unprepare it. > + */ > + core->keep_prepared = false; > + > if (core->prepare_count) > return; > > @@ -770,6 +778,12 @@ static void clk_disable_unused_subtree(struct clk_core *core) > > flags = clk_enable_lock(); > > + /* > + * Reset the ->keep_enabled flag so that subsequent calls to > + * clk_disable() on this clk actually disable it. > + */ > + core->keep_enabled = false; > + > if (core->enable_count) > goto unlock_out; > > @@ -2446,6 +2460,17 @@ static int __clk_core_init(struct clk_core *core) > core->accuracy = 0; > > /* > + * We keep track of the initial clk status to keep clks in the state > + * they were left in by the bootloader until all drivers had a chance > + * to keep them prepared/enabled if they need to. > + */ > + if (core->ops->is_prepared && !clk_ignore_unused) > + core->keep_prepared = core->ops->is_prepared(core->hw); > + > + if (core->ops->is_enabled && !clk_ignore_unused) > + core->keep_enabled = core->ops->is_enabled(core->hw); > + > + /* > * Set clk's phase. > * Since a phase is by definition relative to its parent, just > * query the current clock phase, or just assume it's in phase.
