FUSE clock is enabled by most bootloaders, but we cannot expect

This patch adds a FUSE clkdev to all Tegra platforms and makes
sure it is enabled before touching FUSE registers.
tegra_init_fuse() is invoked during very early boot and thus
cannot rely on the clock framework ; therefore the FUSE clock is
forcibly enabled using a register write in that function, and
remains that way until the clock framework can be used.

Isn't this missing the clock driver changes for Tegra30? Ah...
Tegra30 already has this clock defined. I wonder why only Tegra30
has it. grep says that fuse-tegra isn't used by any drivers, which
also indicates that perhaps we don't need the .dev_id in the first
place. We should be able to get by with just the .con_id = "fuse".

Also are there any reasons to keep this in one single patch? Since
none of the fuse clocks are used yet, I think the clock changes
could be a separate patch that can go in through the clock tree.
And there isn't even a hard runtime dependency, since if the Tegra
changes were to go in without the clock changes, then the fallback
code in this patch should still turn the clock on properly. It just
might not be turned off again, but isn't that something we can live
with for a short period of time? I think perhaps that could even be
improved, see further below.

I've added Mike on Cc, he'll need to either take the patch in
through his tree or Ack this one, so he needs to see it
eventually.

Perhaps instead of just returning here, this should actually be
where the code to enable the clock should go.

And this is where we could disable it again. That way we should
get equal functionality in both cases.

That would need a shared lock with the clock code; at some point, the
clock will be registered, and the clock subsystem in control of the
enable bit. I think having a very early tegra_init_fuse() come along
and force the clock on, and then having the rest of the fuse code use
the clock object as soon as it's available, is the safest approach.

Of course, I suppose there's still a window where the following might
happen:

cpu 0:
- tegra_fuse_enable_clk entered
- fails to clk_get
				cpu 1
				- tegra clk driver is registered
				- clk subsystem initcall disables all
				  unused clocks
- access a fuse register

-> badness

It seems to me that both solutions require a shared lock with the clock code in order to be theoretically safe. The situation you described requires a lock to be addressed ; and unless I missed something, anything that could break with Thierry's proposal could also only do so if we "hold" the clock when the tegra clk driver is registered.

However we can consider ourselves safe for both cases if we know for sure that there is no fuse function in use when this happens. Since of_clk_init() is called very early during boot with SMP and preemption disabled, isn't that always the case?


I'm not sure how to protect against that, unless we simply assume that
all the fuse driver functions are guaranteed to happen early and
before the clk subsystem's initcall, so that can't happen?

That's probably the current behavior actually - the clk subsystem's initcall disables the fuse clock, fuse functions are never used after that, and we only notice when we try to kexec into another kernel that the fuse clock is not enabled as expected.

With that in mind, it's probably a good idea to preemptively implement proper clock enabling in fuse.c, in case we come to use it more in the future.

Thanks,
Alex.
