Subject: [PATCH 0/3] refactor some ldb related clocks

The ldb_di[0/1]_ipu_div clock dividers in the CSCMR2 register
of i.MX53, i.MX6Q and i.MX6DL SoCs can be configured to a 1/3.5
drivider or a 1/7 divider. The common clock framework cannot
deal with the two dividers directly even with the divider table
which only supports integral dividers. So, the idea is to take
the 1/3.5 and 1/7 dividers as separate fixed factor dividers and
introduce a new multiplexer clock to be derived from the them.
Then, the ldb display clock trees can be setup correctly.
This series contains the necessary clock driver changes, dts code
changes and imx-drm/ldb driver changes to fullfill the task.

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ARM: imx6q: refactor some ldb related clocks

The ldb_di[0/1]_ipu_div dividers may divide their parent clock
frequencies by either 3.5 or 7. The non-integral dividers cannot
be dealt with the common clock framework directly, so they cannot
be registered as common clock dividers. So this patch adds a fixed
factor clock of 1/7 and introduces ldb_di[0/1]_div_sel multiplexers
so that the fixed factor clocks of 1/3.5 and 1/7 can be set to be
the parents of ldb_di[0/1]_div_sel multiplexers. The ldb_di[0/1]_podf
dividers are no longer used then.

This patch adds di[0/1]_div_3_5, di[0/1]_div_7 and di[0/1]_div_sel
clocks to the ldb nodes so that the ldb driver may use them to

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] staging: drm/imx: ldb: correct the ldb di clock trees

In ldb split mode, the ldb_di[0/1]_ipu_div dividers should
be configured as clock dividers of 1/3.5, while in others
ldb modes of 1/7. This patch gets the di[0/1]_div_3_5,
di[0/1]_div_7 and di[0/1]_div_sel clocks and sets the
di[0/1]_div_3_5 or di[0/1]_div_7 clocks to be the parents of
di[0/1]_div_sel clocks according to the ldb mode. The real
dividers are the two fixed factors bewteen the ldb_di[0/1] and
the pll clocks, so it's unnecessary to set the frequency for
the ldb_di[0/1] clocks again after pll clock frequency is set.
This patch removes the redundant clock frequency setting code
as well.

I don't see how this improves the situation. Does this solve any real
problem?

While I admit to having introduced the combination of 1/3.5 fixed
divider and configurable 1/1,1/2 divder clocks to describe this
fractional divider for the reasons you state, I think the correct
solution would be to improve the table divider to support fractional
values and get rid of the virtual ldb_di<n>_div_3_5 clocks, not
introduce more virtual clocks.

Philipp

I don't see any functional problem without this series.
But, it may correct ldb_di[n] clock frequency returned from clk_get_rate() when using 1/7 divider.
Furthermore, since this series makes the ldb related clocks from pll to ldb_di[0/1] have the CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT flag set, the imx-drm/ldb driver may set the clocks' frequency more flexibly, i.e.,
only calling clk_set_rate() for ldb_di[n] clock would be an alternative.

Yes, it's good to support fractional values for the table divider(not sure if there is any plan for this).
I see there is something similar in 'include/linux/sh_clk.h'.

This causes a 'hole' in the clock numbering scheme: 74, 75, 76, 79, 80, etc

How does this fit in with the idea of having a stable binding/ABI? Seems
like changing this would be a bad idea for devices in the field that
have older DTBs.

We should be safe since none of existing DTBs refers to the clocks (they
are not leaf clocks in the whole clock tree but some interconnection
ones).

Yeah, I agree with Philipp on improving table divider to support
fractional values. Would you like to work on that?

I don't have a plan to work on that now.

I find there is a 'hole' in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/imx5-clock.txt as well.
The 'hole' was taken by tve_di(26) clock before.

Is this more acceptable?

ldb_di0_podf_unused 77
ldb_di1_podf_unused 78
