The flag 'has_clks' and related checks are superfluous as the CCF
subsystem does this for you.

Hello,

I'd write instead:

	Handle optional clocks by using NULL as clk instead of a
	separate bool field in the device's platform data.

There is a semantic difference this patch introduces (i.e. if on mt2712
there are no provided clocks, the driver now successfully binds while
before it failed with -ENOENT. And for mt7628 it's the other way round). 
IMHO this should be noted in the commit log, too. Otherwise it sounds as
if this patch was just an optimisation without side effects.

I'd prefer the following instead:

	pc->clks[i] = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, mtk_pwm_clk_name[i]);
	if (IS_ERR(pc->clks[i])) {
		if (PTR_ERR(pc->clks[i]) == -ENODEV) {
			pc->clks[i] = NULL;
		} else {
			if (PTR_ERR(pc->clks[i]) == -EPROBE_DEFER)
				dev_err(...);
			return PTR_ERR(pc->clks[i]);
		}

This way you only handle "There is no such clock" and are not ignoring
say an IO error.

I wonder if it would make sense to introduce functions like:

	struct clk *clk_get_optional(struct device *dev, const char *id)

that return NULL instead of ERR_PTR(-ENODEV).

Then the above would simplify to:

	pc->clks[i] = devm_clk_get_optional(&pdev->dev, mtk_pwm_clk_name[i]);
	if (IS_ERR(pc->clks[i]) {
		if (PTR_ERR(pc->clks[i]) == -EPROBE_DEFER)
			dev_err(...);
		return PTR_ERR(pc->clks[i]);
	}

(added the clk people to Cc for this question).

Best regards
Uwe

Does the mt7629 need clocks? I'd suggest to move the clocks and
clock-names description to a section "Optional properties" to match what
is implemented in patch 1 of this series.

Such a patch is already on the list and not getting much review.

Both of these mechanisms aren't equivalent. While CCF can deal with
optional clocks, what the has_clks flag actually means is that the
device doesn't need a clock (or doesn't have a clock input) on the
devices where it is cleared.

So I'd actually be in favor of keeping the has_clks property because it
serves as an additional sanity check. For example if you run this driver
on an SoC that "has clocks" but if you don't list them in DT, then after
this patch the driver will happily continue without clocks, even though
it may break completely without those clocks. I've seen SoCs respond to
disabled clocks for a hardware block in different ways, in many cases an
access to any of the registers will completely hang the CPU. In other
cases it may just crash in some other way or give you some sort of
machine exception. None of those are good, and make the tiny bit of
additional code required to support the has_clks flag very attractive.

But that's just my opinion. If you prefer to throw away that safety
barrier, be my guest. But if you do, please move this functionality into
the clock framework first and then make the driver use it.

Hi,

sorry for my late response. I added the flag for the legacy MIPS 
silicon. These SoCs only have a single clock register with a few on/off 
bits. there is no complex clocktree or scaling. Hence COMMON_CLK is not 
supported by those SoCs. I fully agree with Thierry, that the flag makes 
this explicit and the intent was indeed to make sure that on silicon 
where clocks are required, that they really are listed in OF. This is 
indeed an extra sanity check and hiding it in an implicit check inside 
CCF does not feel right.

Thanks for the detailed information:)  I will drop this patch in v1.

How about adding a property for the num_pwms for the PWM controller?
It at least can help stop adding a new entry for every SoC with only
differences on PWM number.

The usual policy is: If the things specified in the dt are
wrong or incomplete, it's ok to fail however you like. So from a
correctness POV I think the change is fine.

I don't know about the mips details that John pointed out in a followup
to this mail though.

Best regards
Uwe

Erm... that's pretty much what I said. It doesn't necessarily mean that
it's the right thing to do, though. If we know that clocks are required
and we don't find them in DT, it's better to complain and let the user
know exactly what is wrong rather than just let it crash and have them
track down the bug without additional information.
