cover CREG clk driver for NXP LPC18xx family

This patch set adds a clk driver for the low power clocks found in the CREG block on lpc18xx. CREG is a collection of miscellaneous configuration registers that can be accessed through a syscon regmap interface. The clk driver makes it possible to setup and enabled these two clocks.

This need to support peripherals like the internal RTC on the lpc18xx platform.

Based on v4.2-rc1.

PATCH 1/2 clk: add lpc18xx creg clk driver

The CREG block on lpc18xx contains configuration register for two low power clocks. Support enabling of these two clocks with a clk driver that access CREG trough the syscon regmap interface.

These clocks are needed to support peripherals like the internal RTC on lpc18xx.

The 32 kHz clock from the CREG block is a clock parent to the CGU block so it's possible that it will required early. This is all depends on how the boot loader initially configures the CGU.

Currently in the DTS for lpc18xx cgu it has:
clocks = <&xtal>, <&xtal32>, <...>;
xtal32 is just a temporary placeholder until the CREG clock is in place.

Note that while it's possible to use the 32k clock together with PLL0 to generate the main CPU bus clock I doubt it will be common configuration. It is however fully possible to do.

Well that seems wrong. Is it just a matter of probe order where you try to probe the cgu driver before the creg driver?

The ideal probe order for the clk drivers on the lpc18xx platform would be; creg-clk, cgu and ccu.
If the 32k clk is used by any of timers we need creg-clk to enable the 32k clock and determine the rate.

Note that the cgu and ccu driver is using CLK_OF_DECLARE now.

The clock for the clocksource/timer (drivers/clocksource/time-lpc32xx.c) comes from cgu/ccu and can also come from creg-clk. So afaik they must use CLK_OF_DECLARE. Or is there something I am missing?
Isn't true that most SoC system clock drivers must use CLK_OF_DECLARE because the system timer require clocks early? I thought this was the whole point.

Since it is possible that the 32k clock from creg-clk can be use as a parent clock for the timer doesn't this mean it also must use CLK_OF_DECLARE?
If it wasn't possible for creg-clk to be used as a parent clock for the timer it could have been a platform device.

The lpc18xx clock configuration that require creg-clk early would be:
32k - > PLL0 -> BASE_M3/M4_CLK -> CLK_M3/M4_TIMER0. See second figure on the webpage. Note that this is probably not a common configuration, but it is a valid one. (PLL0 accepts input down to 14 kHz)

I'll ask the same question that Stephen asked in your CCU/CGU driver
series: is it necessary to use CLK_OF_DECLARE here or can you use the platform device model?

The 32 kHz clock from the CREG block is a clock parent to the CGU block so it's possible that it will required early. This is all depends on how the boot loader initially configures the CGU.

Quoted 3 lines

Currently in the DTS for lpc18xx cgu it has:
clocks = <&xtal>, <&xtal32>, <...>;
xtal32 is just a temporary placeholder until the CREG clock is in place.

Well that seems wrong. Is it just a matter of probe order where you try to probe the cgu driver before the creg driver?

The ideal probe order for the clk drivers on the lpc18xx platform would be; creg-clk, cgu and ccu.
If the 32k clk is used by any of timers we need creg-clk to enable the 32k clock and determine the rate.

Quoted 5 lines

Note that the cgu and ccu driver is using CLK_OF_DECLARE now.

I have tired to create an overview of the lpc18xx clock system here:

That's great, thanks a lot for the link and the nice documentation.

It's been a while since I've looked at this thread. Do any of the creg-clk, cgu or ccu clock drivers need to use CLK_OF_DECLARE? If they were platform_drivers then you could use -EPROBE_DEFER to solve your ordering issue.

Quoted 4 lines

The clock for the clocksource/timer (drivers/clocksource/time-lpc32xx.c) comes from cgu/ccu and can also come from creg-clk. So afaik they must use CLK_OF_DECLARE. Or is there something I am missing?

No, you're not missing anything. What I want is for clock provider drivers to actually be real Linux device drivers. Right now the drivers that only call CLK_OF_DECLARE are essentially just initcall hacks, and this causes problems down the road when you decide you want your clk provider driver to have suspend/resume ops, etc. Also I feel that having proper drivers will be important as runtime pm and the generic power domains stuff matures.

Quoted 3 lines

Isn't true that most SoC system clock drivers must use CLK_OF_DECLARE because the system timer require clocks early? I thought this was the whole point.

On ARMv8, mandatory use of architected timers removes the need for the clk framework to be involved with timer init, so it's definitely not true for all platforms.

On QCOM's 32-bit platforms they have an always-on clock with a known fixed rate, so they can either put the fixed-rate clock in DT, or even just put the frequency as a property into the timer node with no need to involve the clk framework (which is what they do today). That is also a bit hacky, but it is why you won't find CLK_OF_DECLARE in drivers/clk/qcom and all of their drivers are proper platform_drivers.

Quoted 4 lines

Since it is possible that the 32k clock from creg-clk can be use as a parent clock for the timer doesn't this mean it also must use CLK_OF_DECLARE?

Right, if your 32k clock is a fixed-clock, and if it is provided on the board (e.g. external extal -> lpc timer) then you could just put the fixed-rate clock into DT (which uses CLK_OF_DECLARE) and reference that from your timer node. The rest of the clocks could be registered later through a platform_driver.

Sounds like your timer clocking scheme is more complicated than that however.

Quoted 8 lines

If it wasn't possible for creg-clk to be used as a parent clock for the timer it could have been a platform device.

The lpc18xx clock configuration that require creg-clk early would be:
32k - > PLL0 -> BASE_M3/M4_CLK -> CLK_M3/M4_TIMER0. See second figure on the webpage. Note that this is probably not a common configuration, but it is a valid one. (PLL0 accepts input down to 14 kHz)

I was just discussing this with Stephen and we're both curious to know if the same "nxp,lpc1850-creg-clk" compatible string can be used with CLK_OF_DECLARE for registering the bare minimum early clks, and also with a platform_driver using a different table of clocks for late registration.

The compat string could be the same, and the driver would have different tables/setup functions to keep from re-registering the same clocks twice.

I know that nobody likes to be the guinea pig for this type of stuff, but the lack of participation in the Linux driver model for clk drivers needs to curbed. Do you think the above proposed scheme could work for your clock provider drivers?

creg-clk is quite simple with only two clocks and only one of them may be needed during boot.

For creg-clk it would probably work.

cgu would need to register most of clocks early since it needs to support whatever setup the bootloader throws at it. The only clocks that could be taken out is the base clocks (clk_onecell_data clk_base_data) except for one of them. But splitting this table would be a bad idea as hw clk numbers are used as indexes for easy look up.

Come to think of it; isn't splitting the clock table between a early init and platform driver going become a problem?
At least the lookup in the driver or framework would become more complex(?) And won't you confuse the lookup?
If the early driver register one clock table with of_clk_add_provider() and then sometime later the platform driver register another clock table, both using the same of_node. How is that suppose to work?

ccu has only 4 clocks needed early; CLK_CPU_TIMERx with x = 0..3.

Note that I don't have much time to spare on lpc18xx right now so I might be a bit slow if you want me to implement and test stuff.

I believe that should work, although I haven't tested it. The code looks until it finds a provider that matches the device node and gives us a valid clk pointer. If we don't get a valid pointer we keep looking for another provider until we exhaust all providers.

+* NXP LPC1850 CREG clocks
+
+The NXP LPC18xx/43xx CREG (Configuration Registers) block contains
+control registers for two low speed clocks. One of the clocks is a
+32 kHz oscillator driver with power up/down and clock gating. Next
+is a fixed divider that creates a 1 kHz clock from the 32 kHz osc.
+
+These clocks are used by the RTC and the Event Router peripherials.
+The 32 kHz can also be routed to other peripherials to enable low
+power modes.
+
+This binding uses the common clock binding:
+    Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/clock-bindings.txt
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible:
+	Should be "nxp,lpc1850-creg-clk"
+- #clock-cells:
+	Shall have value <1>.
+- clocks:
+	Shall contain a phandle to the fix 32 kHz crystall.
+
+The creg-clk node must be a child of the creg syscon node.
+
+The following clocks are available from the clock node.
+
+Clock ID	Name
+   0		 1 kHz clock
+   1		32 kHz Oscillator
+
+Example:
+soc {
+	creg: syscon at 40043000 {
+		compatible = "nxp,lpc1850-creg", "syscon", "simple-mfd";
+		reg = <0x40043000 0x1000>;
+
+		creg_clk: clock-controller at 004 {
+			compatible = "nxp,lpc1850-creg-clk";
+			clocks = <&xtal32>;
+			#clock-cells = <1>;
+		};
+
+		...
+	};
+
+	rtc: rtc at 40046000 {

cover CREG clk driver for NXP LPC18xx family

In reply to Joachim Eastwood
Quoted 9 lines · Joachim Eastwood

This patch set adds a clk driver for the low power clocks found in the CREG block on lpc18xx. CREG is a collection of miscellaneous configuration registers that can be accessed through a syscon regmap interface. The clk driver makes it possible to setup and enabled these two clocks.

This need to support peripherals like the internal RTC on the lpc18xx platform.

I know this is many months old, but is this driver still required? I can apply it to clk-next if so.

It is still needed for the internal RTC (rtc-lpc24xx) on lpc18xx. The RTC uses a 1 kHz clock that is controlled in CREG (misc system regs).

Note; if you apply it you will most likely get a very trivial conflict in drivers/clk/nxp/Makefile because clk-lpc32xx.c has been added since these patches was sent.
