Current ath79 clock.c code does not read reference clock and pll setup from devicetree. The ar724x_clocks_init() function recreates the clocks from scratch so devicetree clock information is dropped. After adding the code which picked up reference clock from devicetree I have found that kernel does not boot anymore. The SPI and UART drivers can't get clk; here are the bootlog error messages: of_serial: probe of 18020000.uart failed with error -22 ath79-spi: probe of 1f000000.spi failed with error -22 The problem is that clock code assumes that reference clock name is "ref" but current dts-file uses another name: "oscillator". This patch fixes the problem by changing external oscillator dt node name to "ref". Please note that there is an alternative solution for the problem: > --- a/arch/mips/boot/dts/qca/ar9132_tl_wr1043nd_v1.dts > +++ b/arch/mips/boot/dts/qca/ar9132_tl_wr1043nd_v1.dts > @@ -16,6 +16,7 @@ > > extosc: oscillator { > compatible = "fixed-clock"; > + clock-output-names = "ref"; > #clock-cells = <0>; > clock-frequency = <40000000>; > }; Signed-off-by: Antony Pavlov <antonynpavlov@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Alban Bedel <albeu@xxxxxxx> Cc: Michael Turquette <mturquette@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: linux-clk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: linux-mips@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Rob Herring <robh+dt@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: devicetree@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- arch/mips/boot/dts/qca/ar9132_tl_wr1043nd_v1.dts | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/mips/boot/dts/qca/ar9132_tl_wr1043nd_v1.dts b/arch/mips/boot/dts/qca/ar9132_tl_wr1043nd_v1.dts index eb632a2..3c3b7ce 100644 --- a/arch/mips/boot/dts/qca/ar9132_tl_wr1043nd_v1.dts +++ b/arch/mips/boot/dts/qca/ar9132_tl_wr1043nd_v1.dts @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ reg = <0x0 0x2000000>; }; - extosc: oscillator { + extosc: ref { compatible = "fixed-clock"; #clock-cells = <0>; clock-frequency = <40000000>; -- 2.7.0
