cover R8A7792 clock fixes

Hello.

Here's the set of 2 patches against Simon Horman's 'renesas.git' repo,
'renesas-devel-20160711-v4.7-rc7' tag. I've found a couple of issues in the R8A7792 DT clock descriptions, so these patches are targeted as fixes for 4.8.

[1/2] ARM: dts: r8a7792: add PLL1 divided by 2 clock [2/2] ARM: dts: r8a7792: remove ADSP clock

WBR, Sergei

PATCH 1/2 ARM: dts: r8a7792: add PLL1 divided by 2 clock

Despite the QSPI clock has PLL1/VCOx1/4 clock as a parent, the latter hasn't been added to the R8A7792 device tree -- fix this overlook at last...

PATCH 2/2 ARM: dts: r8a7792: remove ADSP clock

In reply to Sergei Shtylyov

Simon Horman told me that R8A7792 had ADSP clock (based on the most recent R-Car gen2 manual) but when I got that manual as well, this claim proved to be false: R8A7792 is the only gen2 SoC that doesn't have ADSP at all. Remove that clock for good...

JFTR, this changes the bindings file, but the values are solely used for indexing
the clock-output-names array, so this is fine.

PATCH 1/1 ARM: dts: r8a7791: link DU to VSPDs

In reply to Sergei Shtylyov

Add the "vsps" property to the DU device node in order to link this node to the VSPD nodes.

Add the "vsps" property to the DU device node in order to link this node to
the VSPD nodes.

Changes in version 2:
- rebased the patch.

Quoted 6 lines

This patch is against the 'renesas-devel-20170125-v4.10-rc5' of Simon Horman's
'renesas.git' repo. It's only meaningful if the DRM driver patches I've
just
posted are applied.

Forgot to note that without this patch the DU driver fails to link to
VSPD and probe correctly, so there's no video signal. So it makes sense to
apply before the DU driver patch (once it's ACKed for merge)...

Doesn't that translate to breaking the DT ABI? Is there someway we can avoid doing that?

It doesn't -- if this patch is merged ahead of the DU patches.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but if you require a DTS patch to be merged before a driver change then doesn't this mean that older DTBs will stop working with newer kernels and the user is forced to update the DTB to avoid breakage?

It would be nice if older DTBs could keep on working as before and the DU driver modification would work both with connected VSPs and also keep on working as before in case the VSP connection is not present in DT.

Cheers,

    Yes, it seems so. :-(

I'll try to look into that...
