Don't need a generic description. Just 'true' is enough.

If optional, then you need 'minItems'.

'true' is only allowed for common, incomplete schemas. Should be:

In the past you were adamant that we use concrete SoC-specific strings.
Here that would mean s32g2 or s32g274 instead of s32cc (which aims to
share with S32G3 IIUC).

Do we have any precedence of bindings with *MII clocks like these?

AFAIU the reason there are so many here is that there are in fact
physically just five, but different parent clock configurations that
SCMI does not currently expose to Linux. Thus I was raising that we may
want to extend the SCMI protocol with some SET_PARENT operation that
could allow us to use less input clocks here, but obviously such a
standardization process will take time...

What are your thoughts on how to best handle this here?

Not clear to me has been whether the PHY mode can be switched at runtime
(like DPAA2 on Layerscape allows for SFPs) or whether this is fixed by
board design. If the latter, the two out of six SCMI IDs could get
selected in TF-A, to have only physical clocks here in the binding.

Andreas

Yes they should be SoC specific. Really, 1 per maskset or die is fine if
that level of detail is known. No need for different compatibles for
different part numbers created by fused off features or package pinout
differences.

Don't know...

Perhaps use assigned-clocks if it is static for a board.

Does the hardware support 1000BaseX? Often the hardware implementing
SGMII can also do 1000BaseX, since SGMII is an extended/hacked up
1000BaseX.

If you have an SFP connected to the SERDES, a fibre module will want
1000BaseX and a copper module will want SGMII. phylink will tell you
what phy-mode you need to use depending on what module is in the
socket. This however might be a mute point, since both of these are
probably using the SGMII clocks.

Of the other MII modes listed, it is very unlikely a runtime swap will
occur.

If I understand correctly from NXP, the GMAC0 belongs to a common hardware
sub-architecture called "S32 Common Chassis", which is a common IP set applied
in many S32 SoC series, such as S32G2/G3 and S32R45. Therefore this binding is
not specifically for S32G2 but it supports all S32 SoC series who adopt S32CC
sub-arch if they could all be upstreamed in the future.

Logically S32G2 and S32R45 have the same subset *S32CC* but it doesn't mean that
S32G2 and S32R45 are derived from each other.

Here I just focus on GMAC since there are other LAN interfaces that S32 family
uses [e.g. PFE]. According to the public GMACSUBSYS ref manual rev2[1] provided
on NXP website, theoretically GMAC can run SGMII in 1000Mbps and 2500Mbps so I
assume that supporting 1000BASE-X could be achievable. I'm not sure if any S32
board variant might have SFP ports but RJ-45 [1000BASE-T] should be the major
type used on S32G-EVB and S32G-RDB2.

@NXP, please feel free to correct me if anything wrong.

SGMII at 2500Mbps does not exist. Lots of people get this wrong. It
will be 2500Base-X.

Does the clock need to change in order to support 2500Base-X? If i
understand you correctly, Linux does not control the clocks, and so
cannot change the clocks? So that probably means you cannot actually
support 2500Base-X? Once you have Linux actually controlling the
hardware, you can then make use of an SFP or a copper PHY which
supports 2.5G. The PHY will swap its host side between SGMII and
2500Base-X depending on what the line side negotiates, 1000Base-T or
2500Base-T. The MAC driver then needs to change its configuration to
suite.

Thanks for your correction.

Since I'm not a hardware designer from NXP and I can't find any board that
S32G2 CPUs could integrate SFP, so I am not able to tell how the clock could
be configured while supporting 2500Base-X.

To be more precise, the SCMI clock protocol in ATF [ARM Trusted Firmware]
doesn't design any interface to get/set parents of a clock so that re-parenting
clocks via the SCMI clk driver [clk-scmi.c] in Linux Kernel is impossible
for this case. That means, if any board design allows run-time swap on different
phys, the dedicated clks which represent each phy-mode are required in order
to trigger clock re-parenting in ATF since different phy connections would
need different clock sources.

NXP eval boards (EVB or RDB) have also 2.5G PHYs, so together with SerDes
driver we support 100M/1G/2.5G on such copper PHYs.

Correct. The different clock names represent different configs of the same
clocks.

The eval board allows to use different PHYs/switches connected by RGMII
or SGMII to the GMAC. Some combinations require change of board's
hw switches, but not all of them. Anyway, until we get a board with SFP,
the connection type can be treated as fixed (declared in DT).

Hi Jan

Does the SERDES clock need to change when going between 1000BaseX and
2500BaseX?

If so, it sounds like Linux not having control of that clock is going
to limit what can be supported.

No, the SerDes clock remains the same, the change is done internally, without
any necessity of clock change intervention by GMAC driver.

Hi Jan

Thanks for the information. So this binding should work.

The only suggestion i have is that the binding does not call is SGMII
clock, because it is used for more than SGMII, also 1000base-X, and
2500Base-X. So PCS clock might be better.
