PATCH v3 1/1 ARM: shmobile: lager: Add DT reference
This is sufficient to allow boot of the Lager board with a console without boards-lager.c compiled into the kernel. This is an example of a minimal but still useful initialisation of the board using DT as much as possible.
As such it is the same as the boot of Lager that can be achieved without a board file. The intention of adding this file is to facilitate further work to allow board specific devices to be initialised via DT.

At some (hopefully not too distant) point we should stop adding both traditional and DT board files. DT is supposed to lower the number of board files, not multiply it by two.
Work is still needed in order to achieve this, as we lack DT bindings for core (and non core) devices. That's something we need to work on. As a first step, do we have a roadmap with a list of devices that lack DT support ? At the very least I see more work needed on
- Common clock framework
- SCI
- Timers
We shouldn't delay CCF much longer, v3.12 seems an achievable target to me. Who will work on that ?

Well, mr-multiply-by-two: While I dislike code duplication I can't recall when the number of files actually decreased with DT.
I realize that when we can use DT fully to describe a board then a single DTS file is enough to describe board specific hardware together with per-SoC C code. I can't however see how that would reduce the number of files, but whatever. I always thought the goal was to reduce the memory footprint of the kernel and that the source would not come with that many limitations, but it seems that I got that all wrong...
Anyway, the current split on mach-shmobile is intentional:
1) The C version of board support (board-xxx.c)
This is where platform devices are used (with power domains in some cases) and where out-of-tree people can experiment with things. This code is using legacy SH clock code and is not targeted for multiplatform. These should go away, the sooner the better.
2) The DT reference support (board-xxx-reference.c)
This file contains whatever bits of C code needed to get the DT support going. All the board specific devices should be described via DT. The DT reference board support is where we build incremental support to catch up with 1) board-xxx.c. Ideally we wouldn't need the board-xxx-reference.c file and instead only go with .dts, but in some cases we need some extra glue and until pinctrl DT is done we also need those written in C. The DT reference support will use common clocks as soon as they are available.
3) SoC DT support (setup-xxx.c)
This is what will be used when 2) is caught up with 1). Common clocks and multiplatform, one SoC at a time.

- Common clock framework
Yes, I agree. Please see below for more about that.
Quoted 1 line
- SCI
Indeed, someone needs to continue earlier efforts for the SCIF driver. Fortunately, with EMEV2 our UART driver already supports DT, so we can implement DT-only multiplatform support on EMEV2 regardless of the state of SCIF.
Quoted 1 line
- Timers
We can use DT-only with Arch timer, but unfortunately another clock evenit is needed unconditionally for high resolution timer support, search for clock event and the C3STOP flag if you want to see me moan about that.
Regardless I believe someone took a couple of first steps towards DT support for our timers some time ago. But as we discussed face to face about a month ago, it makes sense to describe the hardware via DT but in case of timers and clock event / clock sources it does not make sense to associate 87 timer channels for operating system time keeping. So we need some user space configuration interface to associate different kind of timer applications (operating system timer, PWM, clock generation, etc) to different channels.
Since you mention it: =)
- PINCTRL DT and GPIO DT
I'd like to start picking up the remaining PINCTRL and GPIO bits for v3.12 merge. Can you please rebase and resend on top of the latest renesas-next tag?
Quoted 2 lines
We shouldn't delay CCF much longer, v3.12 seems an achievable target to me. Who will work on that ?
So I am currently preparing EMEV2 for multiplatform, will most likely have patches posted for that next week. And yes, I intend to send a new DT reference board support file.
In parallel Kuribayashi-san is taking a stab at moving to common clocks for EMEV2 as a first step.
I expect the above to be in order for v3.12, but not much more that that.

I agree that we need an API for this. It might make sense to restrict the API to in-kernel usage to start with, but we need an API nonetheless. Has this topic been discussed with clocks/timers people ? It might be worth bringing it up for LPC or KS.
