Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Fixes for dtbs_check warnings on Mediatek XHCI nodes


The two first patches fix inconsistencies in the mtk-xhci dt-binding,
while the third patch is a DTS change to use the clock order required by
the binding (and that was fixed in patch 2).

This series gets rid of a couple dtbs_check warnings on mt8192.dtsi and
another on mt8195.dtsi.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] dt-bindings: usb: mtk-xhci: Allow middle optional clocks to be missing

The current clock list in the binding doesn't allow for one of the
optional clocks to be missing and a subsequent clock to be present. An
example where this is an issue is in mt8192.dtsi, which has "sys_ck",
"ref_ck", "xhci_ck" and would cause dtbs_check warnings.

Change the clock list in a way that allows the middle optional clocks to
be missing, while still guaranteeing a fixed order. The "ref_ck" is kept
as a const even though it is optional for simplicity, since it is
present in all current dts files.

You allow now almost any order here, including incorrect like
sys,ref,xhci,xhci,xhci.

The order of clocks has to be fixed and we cannot allow flexibility. Are
you sure that these clocks are actually optional (not wired to the device)?

That would mean the clock is not actually optional. The DTS should
reflect the hardware so either you have the clock there or not. Either
it is an input or not. Of course there are some exceptions (like
non-controllable clock or regulator which not always has to be modeled).

Krzysztof

But in some versions these clocks are controllable or not?

Thanks for confirming. Then I would prefer to make these clocks required
(not optional) and always provide them - via common clock framework or
fixed-clock.

Hi Krzysztof and Chunfeng,

thank you both for the feedback.

Since the solution I proposed in this patch is not acceptable I see two options:
1. Split the clocks in several if blocks matched by compatibles
2. Make the clocks required and use fixed-clock nodes for the missing clocks in
the DT

My understanding is that 1 is the desirable solution if the clock is really
missing in some hardware variants, while 2 is desirable if all hardware variants
really receive all the clocks, only that on some variants they're fixed and not
controlable by SW.

From what I'm reading of this discussion it seems that the latter is the case
here and thus we should go for 2. Is this correct?

Also Chunfeng, do you have information on whether the same is true for the MMC
HW block? I recently submitted some changes to that binding [1] but I followed
approach 1 there instead. However if all the clocks are present in the HW level
there as well it would make more sense for me to change it to follow approach 2.

Thanks,
N?colas

This is how I understood it as well, so correct from my side.
