This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tty: serial: owl: add "much needed" clk_prepare_enable() to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From abf42d2f333b21bf8d33b2fbb8a85fa62037ac01 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amit Singh Tomar <amittomer25@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2020 01:41:57 +0530 Subject: tty: serial: owl: add "much needed" clk_prepare_enable() commit 8ba92cf59335 ("arm64: dts: actions: s700: Add Clock Management Unit") breaks the UART on Cubieboard7-lite (based on S700 SoC), This is due to the fact that generic clk routine clk_disable_unused() disables the gate clks, and that in turns disables OWL UART (but UART driver never enables it). To prove this theory, Andre suggested to use "clk_ignore_unused" in kernel commnd line and it worked (Kernel happily lands into RAMFS world :)). This commit fix this up by adding clk_prepare_enable().
