v3 cover clk: imx: fix AV PLL rate setting

Hi,

I discovered a problem when trying to set the rate of the audio PLL (pll4_post_div) on an i.MX6Q. The rate I wanted to set was 196.608 MHz, but the actual rate I got was 192.000570 MHz. This patch series fixes this issue and also improves the precision of the audio/video PLLs.

Changes since v2:
- Cast result of 'parent_rate * mfn / mfd' to unsigned long instead of u32.
- Clarify how this issue was discovered in the commit message.
- Rebased on Linux 4.8.

Changes since v1:
- Use correct subsystem name in commit summary.
- Use 'Fixes:' tag to indicate bug fix.
- Revise argument for choosing the denominator register value after comments from Lothar Wa?mann.

v2: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2016-October/460809.html
v1: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2016-October/460350.html

PATCH v3 1/2 clk: imx: fix integer overflow in AV PLL round rate

Since 'parent_rate * mfn' may overflow 32 bits, the result should be stored using 64 bits.

The problem was discovered when trying to set the rate of the audio PLL (pll4_post_div) on an i.MX6Q. The desired rate was 196.608 MHz, but the actual rate returned was 192.000570 MHz. The round rate function should have been able to return 196.608 MHz, i.e., the desired rate.

This one fixes a regression caused by ba7f4f557eb6 ("clk: imx: correct AV PLL rate formula").

So it should go to clk-fixes instead with the stable tag:

The clk-fixes branch is for patches that fix problems in code merged during the merge window as well as small one-liners and things that are causing great pain for people on the latest release. Given that this fixes a regression in v4.8 and we're trying to stabilize v4.9 it looked like it could wait until v4.10.

So is there something going on here where the pain is too much to wait for the next merge window? If so the commit text should mention something about what's causing that pain. Perhaps by referencing the commit that merged outside of clk tree that caused problems.

The regression affects 4.8 and 4.9.

This patch clearly states that the problem is caused by ba7f4f557eb6 ("clk: imx: correct AV PLL rate formula").

Since this is a regression, I don't understand why we need to wait until 4.10 to get it applied.

That commit isn't outside of clk tree :(

Because we're stabilizing the 4.9-rc series and not the 4.8-rc series and the assumption is people tested code no 4.8 before it was released. But in cases where that doesn't happen and the bugs cause problems with testing the latest rc series we just apply the patch. It sounds like in this case that happened, so I'll move this patch over to fixes.

PATCH v3 2/2 clk: imx: improve precision of AV PLL to 1 Hz

In reply to Emil Lundmark

The audio and video PLLs are designed to have a precision of 1 Hz if some conditions are met. The current implementation only allows a precision that depends on the rate of the parent clock. E.g., if the parent clock is 24 MHz, the precision will be 24 Hz; or more generally the precision will be

    p / 10^6 Hz

where p is the parent clock rate. This comes down to how the register values for the PLL's fractional loop divider are chosen.

The clock rate calculation for the PLL is

PLL output frequency = Fref * (DIV_SELECT + NUM / DENOM)

or with a shorter notation

    r = p * (d + a / b)

In addition to all variables being integers, we also have the following conditions:

    27 <= d <= 54

    -2^29 <= a <= 2^29-1
     0    <  b <= 2^30-1
    |a| < b

Here, d, a and b are register values for the fractional loop divider. We want to chose d, a and b such that f(p, r) = p, i.e. f is our round_rate function. Currently, d and b are chosen as

d = r / p
b = 10^6

hence we get the poor precision. And a is defined in terms of r, d, p and b:

    a = (r - d * p) * b / p

I propose that if p <= 2^30-1 (i.e., the max value for b), we chose b as

b = p

We can do this since

    |a| < b

    |(r - d * p) * b / p| < b

    |r - d * p| < p

Which have two solutions, one of them is when p < 0, so we can skip that one. The other is when p > 0 and

    p * (d - 1) < r < p * (d + 1)

Substitute d = r / p:

    (r - p) < r < (r + p)  <=>  p > 0

So, as long as p > 0, we can chose b = p. This is a good choise for b since

    a = (r - d * p) * b / p
      = (r - d * p) * p / p
      = r - d * p

    r = p * (d + a / b)
      = p * d + p * a / b
      = p * d + p * a / p
      = p * d + a

and if d = r / p:

    a = r - d * p
      = r - r / p * p
      = 0

    r = p * d + a
      = p * d + 0
      = p * r / p
      = r

I reckon this is the intention by the design of the clock rate formula.
