Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] dt-bindings: clock: fixed-clock: Add nvmem support

Add bindings for a fixed-rate clock that retrieves its rate from an
NVMEM provider. This allows to store clock settings in EEPROM or EFUSE
or similar device.

Component shortages lead to boards being shipped with different clock
crystals, based on what was available at the time. The clock frequency
was written to EEPROM at production time. Systems can adapt to a wide
range of input frequencies using the clock framework, but this required
us to patch the devicetree at runtime or use some custom driver. This
provides a more generic solution.

Changes in v3:
Modify fixed-clock instead of introducing nvmem-clock

Changes in v2:
Changed "fixed-clock" into "nvmem-clock" in dts example
Add minItems:1 to nvmem-cell-names

Do you even need new compatible? Isn't this the same clock from the
hardware point of view?

Put it under allOf. Entire block should be before additionalProperties
(just like in example-schema).

Anyway, I don't think you tested it. Provide a DTS user of this. I don't
think it works and such user would point to mistakes.

Properties should be defined in top-level properties:, not in
allOf:if:then. In allOf:if:then you only narrow them.

Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] clk: Add fixed-clock-nvmem provider

Adds a fixed-rate clock that retrieves its rate from an NVMEM provider.
This allows to store clock settings in EEPROM or EFUSE or similar device.

Component shortages lead to boards being shipped with different clock
crystals, based on what was available at the time. The clock frequency
was written to EEPROM at production time. Systems can adapt to a wide
range of input frequencies using the clock framework, but this required
us to patch the devicetree at runtime or use some custom driver. This
provides a more generic solution.

Because this clock depends on other hardware (typical NVMEM provider is
an I2C EEPROM) it cannot be integrated into clk-fixed which uses
CLK_OF_DECLARE to initialize.

I need a new compatible because a "fixed-clock" only loads at init time.
It registers using CLK_OF_DECLARE, which requires the clock to register
early. NVMEM providers are typical devices like I2C EEPROMs that won't
be available at that point, hence I needed to create a clock that
registers as a regular clock driver and can handle deferral and similar.

Ah, got it. Added an example dts block to the document, this revealed
the issues, indeed didn't test the bindings.

Fixed it into an "allOf" to properly narrow the properties.

I'll test and post a v4 in a jiffie.

What is builtin_platform_driver(of_fixed_clk_driver)?
