Hi,

First off, properly trim your quoting, I had to dig for your response...


Got it, sorry.

       clk: ti: fix flag space conflict with clkctrl clocks


Hi Greg,

Can we please pull this one to 4.16-stable? It fixes boot on
BeagleBone Black. This bug was mentioned here: [1].

Thanks!

[1] https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg643873.html

What is the git commit id of the patch?  I need that to get this merged
properly.


1. Patch that fixes BBB (in mainline, between 4.16 and 4.17) -- it's
the one that should be merged:

     269bd202bc0fd04e841cb123867fd3f49e04ace9
     clk: ti: fix flag space conflict with clkctrl clocks

2. Patch that breaks BBB (in mainline, between 4.15 and 4.16) -- just
for information:

     c083dc5f3738d394223baa0f90705397b0844acd
     clk: ti: am33xx: add set-rate-parent support for display clkctrl clock

Why does the patch say:
         Fixes: 49159a9dc3da ("clk: ti: add support for CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT flag")
instead of c083dc5f3738 ("clk: ti: am33xx: add set-rate-parent support for display clkctrl clock")
?


+ Tero Kristo

Using bisect I found that c083dc5f3738 is the first patch after which
BBB boot is broken. So I can suppose that either:
   1. 49159a9dc3da is actual bug and c083dc5f3738 is just revealing it
   2. or mentioned patch 269bd202bc0f fixes both bugs (c083dc5f3738 and
49159a9dc3da)

Well, both commits you list are broken in reality, and are fixed by the same patch. The data change done initially in c083dc5f3738 surfaces one specific problem for BBB (boot failure with multi-v7), but the code change in c083dc5f3738 is the TI SoC global issue which can cause some other interesting side effects.

If you go nitpicking things, the patch also fixes this one:
762790b75210f5219c68 ("clk: ti: am43xx: add set-rate-parent support for display clkctrl clock"). I just picked the generic code change item for the "fixes" field, which impacts everything.

-Tero


Best way to know the answer would be to ask Tero Kristo, who
implemented the fix.

Anyway, I'll go queue up 269bd202bc0fd04e841cb123867fd3f49e04ace9,

Thank you!

thanks.
