From: Eugen Hristev <[email protected]>

The PLL input range needs to be able to allow 24 Mhz crystal as input
Update the range accordingly in plla characteristics struct

Hello,

out of curiosity: The SAMA5D27-SOM1-EK board has a 24 MHz crystal, that is
also what /sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_summary says and the board runs without
obvious problems. What is this change improving in real practice then?

The board works, but, the characteristics of the PLL are incorrect.
This can lead to unwanted behavior, like calculating wrong minimum
values for multipliers, or other issues

In this code here in clk-pll.c for example

if (parent_rate > characteristics->input.max) {
tmpdiv = DIV_ROUND_UP(parent_rate,
characteristics->input.max);
if (tmpdiv > PLL_DIV_MAX)

return -ERANGE;



if (tmpdiv > mindiv)

mindiv = tmpdiv;

}

The divisor is capped by checks, but at another possible requested
parent rate, this may lead to something wrong, like here, the minimum
divisor might be greater than what is the real possible one. So in some
cases it can happen that unwanted results occur.

We may consider at some points to rely on these values more, so, it's
obvious that they should be correct in the characteristics

So short answer: no improve in your case , where the rates required are
around 492 Mhz cpu/132 mhz bus (IIRC), but the characteristics need to
be correct to cover all possible cases.

Is there a Fixes: tag for this? Seems like it was always wrong?

Hi Stephen,

At the initial design , the 12 Mhz was the only possibility for the
boards themselves. But, with the commit who added this:

Fixes: c561e41ce4d2 ("clk: at91: add sama5d2 PMC driver")
