Subject: [PATCH] ARM: dts: r8a7791: Don't disable referenced optional clocks

clk_get on a disabled clock node will return EPROBE_DEFER, which can
cause drivers to be deferred forever if such clocks are referenced in
their clocks property.

Update the various disabled external clock nodes to default to a
frequency of 0, but don't disable them to prevent this.

Yes it seems so. Reverting that patch means that i can drop this one
and get the expected behaviour again.

Though even so I'm not sure what the convention is for clocks like
these, the r8a7791.dtsi is inconsistent, as some are disabled while
others (e.g. the audio clocks) are 0hz. Would be good to get some input
on that regardless.

If the clock has a good default frequency, I don't think you need to
remove it. Otherwise you missed USB_EXTAL which is 48 MHz (and can be overridden).

I don't have the schematics so i was simply keeping the current state.
I've added Phil Edworthy to the list as he was the one originally
enable the bus clk for Koelsh according to git. Hopefully he can
clarify :)

You were the one enabling this clock for Porter ;) I don't have PCIE
hardware to test with on my porter board, might be worth if you could
disable this clock and see if PCI-E still fucntions as expected (maybe
in practise it just happens to prefer the internal clock?) ?

I did that as it was by default disabled, so if i do enable it but
don't drop the default frequency to 0 board swithout that clock will
suddenly have it added to their dtb.

For the usb external clock I didn't touch it as it was already enabled
by default with a proper frequency, so it wouldn't hit the issue i was
trying to fix here. But i agree, both looking at other Renesas dtsis
and how all other external clocks are done in this dtsi, this node is
odd.

Yes, of course. I don't remember the gory details already -- I might have
blindly copied what was in the Koelsch's .dts.

I know the PCIe driver does require this clock in order to function -- it
would be the same eternal -EPROBE_DEFER condition you'd already described;
see drivers/pci/host/pcie-rcar.c yourself...

Zero frequency is hardly any better then the default...

It's not that odd given that the R-Car gen2 manual specifically says it
should be 48 MHz.
Looking into the manual again, the PCIe bus clock must be the onne
presented on the CICREF[PN]1_SATA/PCIe input signals and it indeed should be
100 MHz... So Phil was correct.

The DT is broken then? Is it possible to mark these status =
"okay" so that things work again?

So the question is how to model unconnected external clocks in device-
tree.

The dtsi we're loooking at has (in pseudo dt):

device {
  clock-names = "internal", "external";
  clocks = <&internal, &external>
};

external {
  compatible = "fixed-clock";
  clock-frequency = <12345>;
  status = "disabled";
};

Before 3e5dd6f6e690048d ("clk: Ignore disabled DT clock providers")
this apparently worked. Afterwards drivers getting all the clocks would
fail to probe with -EPROBE_DEFER.

Judging by your comment I assume this way of modelling it is broken
(and the behaviour caused by the patch is correct)? 

And as a follow-up, is modelling unconnected clocks as enabled with a
frequency of 0hz as my proposed patch does seen as the right way of
doing things?

PCIe always requires a 100MHz reference clock. On Koelsch, this clock is
generated by U6 and always on. Some boards may need additional hardware
to be setup in order to output the clock, hence the DT node for the clock.

I hope that clarifies the situation!

Right. In the case where the external clk is populated, I imagine
there would be a DT node describing it with the clock-frequency
property if it's a fixed rate clk. If the clk is not populated on
the board, then we would have a "ground" clk node that has a
frequency of 0. This way, if we have some mux clk that is default
connected to the external clk but can switch to some internal clk
it isn't orphaned forever. This is actually a problem for orphan
clk deferral right now.

My head starts to spin when we consider something like expansion
boards that have clk pins on them though. Hopefully for things
like that, we can populate clks with DT overlays and then change
the root hierarchy of the clk tree by swapping out the "ground"
clk for some real clk on the expansion board. The usage of
strings to describe the clk tree is probably going to get us here
though. Fun!

If we can't do this DT design because of backwards compatibility
concerns, then perhaps we need to expand the core to return a
fixed rate of 0 clk whenever clk_get() is called on a provider
that's status = "disabled"? Here's an untested patch to show that
idea.
