Subject: [RFC PATCH RESEND 0/2] clk: add clk accuracy support

Hello,

Sorry for the noise, but I didn't get any feedback on this patch series.

This patch series is a proposal to add clock accuracy retrieval support to the
common clk framework.

The support of accuracy retrieval may benefit to the at91 platform (I explain
why in the following paragraphs).

I don't know if other platforms may benefit from this accuracy support. This
series is here to get feedbacks from other developpers/maintainers, and see if
this can be integrated in the clk framework.

Here is why at91 platform may need the clk accuracy informations:

AT91 SoCs provide a slow clock (32 KHz clock) which can be used as a clock
source for some peripherals (USART, TC blocks, ...).

This slow clock can be generated from 2 sources:
- a 32KHz internal RC with a poor accuracy (50000 ppm)
- a 32KHz external crystal oscillator

Most of the supported at91 boards (if not all) use the external 32KHz crystal
source except for the kizbox (the board I'm working with :)).
It probably comes from a bad hardware design (hardware team should have
connected a crystal oscillator to the SoC instead of relying on the unaccurate
internal RC).
Anyway, I can't change the hardware as it is already widely deployed.

What I'm proposing is to give clock users the ability to retrieve clocks
accuracies in order to choose the most accurate source (or at least discard
clocks with poor accuracy).

Could you tell me if this approach is right, and if other platforms/boards have
similar issues and would be interrested by this series ?

Best Regards,

Boris

Subject: [RFC PATCH RESEND 2/2] clk: add accuracy support for fixed clock

This patch adds support for accuracy retrieval on fixed clocks.
It also adds a new dt property called 'clock-accuracy' to define the clock
accuracy.

This can be usefull for oscillator (RC, crystal, ...) definitions which are
always given an accuracy characteristic.

Subject: [RFC PATCH RESEND 1/2] clk: add clk accuracy retrieval support

The clock accuracy is expressed in ppb (parts per billion) and represents
the possible clock drift.
Say you have a clock (e.g. an oscillator) which provides a fixed clock of
20MHz with an accuracy of +- 20Hz. This accuracy expressed in ppb is
20Hz/20MHz = 1000 ppb (or 1 ppm).

Clock users may need the clock accuracy information in order to choose
the best clock (the one with the best accuracy) across several available
clocks.

This patch adds clk accuracy retrieval support for common clk framework by
means of a new function called clk_get_accuracy.
This function returns the given clock accuracy expressed in ppb.

In order to get the clock accuracy, this implementation adds one callback
called recalc_accuracy to the clk_ops structure.
This callback is given the parent clock accuracy (if the clock is not a
root clock) and should recalculate the given clock accuracy.

This callback is optional and may be implemented if the clock is not
a perfect clock (accuracy != 0 ppb).
