[PATCH V4 1/5] clocksource: timer-of: Support getting clock frequency from DT

[PATCH V4 1/5] clocksource: timer-of: Support getting clock frequency from DT

[Anson.Huang]

From: Anson Huang <Anson.Huang@nxp.com>

More and more platforms use platform driver model for clock driver,
so the clock driver is NOT ready during timer initialization phase,
it will cause timer initialization failed.

To support those platforms with upper scenario, introducing a new
flag TIMER_OF_CLOCK_FREQUENCY which is mutually exclusive with
TIMER_OF_CLOCK flag to support getting timer clock frequency from
DT's timer node, the property name should be "clock-frequency",
then of_clk operations can be skipped.

User needs to select either TIMER_OF_CLOCK_FREQUENCY or TIMER_OF_CLOCK
flag if want to use timer-of driver to initialize the clock rate.

Changes since V3:
	- use hardcoded "clock-frequency" instead of adding new variable prop_name;
	- add pre-condition check for TIMER_OF_CLOCK and TIMER_OF_CLOCK_FREQUENCY, they MUST be exclusive.

[PATCH V4 2/5] clocksource/drivers/sysctr: Add clock-frequency property

[Anson.Huang]

From: Anson Huang <Anson.Huang@nxp.com>

Systems which use platform driver model for clock driver require the
clock frequency to be supplied via device tree when system counter
driver is enabled.

This is necessary as in the platform driver model the of_clk operations
do not work correctly because system counter driver is initialized in
early phase of system boot up, and clock driver using platform driver
model is NOT ready at that time, it will cause system counter driver
initialization failed.

Add clock-frequency property to the device tree bindings of the NXP
system counter, so the driver can tell timer-of driver to get clock
frequency from DT directly instead of doing of_clk operations via
clk APIs.

This is a DT binding. What's a platform driver?

While you've now given a good explanation why you need this, it all
sounds like linux specific issues and a DT change should not be
necessary.

Presumably, 'clocks' points to a fixed-clock node, right? Just parse
the 'clocks' phandle and fetch the frequency from that node if you
need to get the frequency 'early'.

It doesn't really work to say one or the other is needed unless you
make the OS support both cases.

It is just trying to explain why we need to introduce this "clock-frequency"
property, nothing about the binding and platform driver.

Sound like a better solution, I will try that, since the system counter's clock is
from osc_24m and divided by 3, since different platforms may have different divider,
so maybe I can create a fixed-clock node in DT, then system counter driver can parse
the clock and fetch the frequency from that node, will redo a V5 patch.

The divide by 3 can be implied by the compatible. If you need a
different divider, add another compatible.

Yes, we can consider it later, till now, all the platforms used are with an internal
divider of 3 in system counter block, so I make it fixed divided by 3 in system counter
driver.

Now that in V5, I use the fixed clock of OSC as clock input of system counter,
no need to have all these changes now. And also no changes needed in DT
binding, thanks for your review.

[PATCH V4 3/5] clocksource: imx-sysctr: Make timer work with clock driver using platform driver model

[Anson.Huang]

From: Anson Huang <Anson.Huang@nxp.com>

On some i.MX8M platforms, clock driver uses platform driver
model and it is NOT ready during timer initialization phase,
the clock operations will fail and system counter driver will
fail too. As all the i.MX8M platforms' system counter clock
are from OSC which is always enabled, so it is no need to enable
clock for system counter driver, the ONLY thing is to pass
clock frequence to driver.

To make system counter driver work for upper scenario, if DT's
system counter node has property "clock-frequency" present,
setting TIMER_OF_CLOCK_FREQUENCY flag to indicate timer-of driver
to get clock frequency from DT directly instead of of_clk operation
via clk APIs.
