Subject: [PATCH 1/1] clk: aspeed: modify some default clks are critical

In ASPEED SoC LCLK is LPC clock for all SuperIO device, UART1/UART2 are
default for Host SuperIO UART device, eSPI clk for Host eSPI bus access
eSPI slave channel, those clks can't be disable should keep default,
otherwise will affect Host side access SuperIO and SPI slave device.

This is fine for systems that have eSPI. For systems that do not use
eSPI, the clocks are not "required".

I was sent a similar patch by Jae some time ago:

https://lore.kernel.org/openbmc/[email protected]/

Better is to associate drivers with these clocks, and those drivers
will ensure they are left enabled.

Alternatively, we will need to come up with a device tree binding to
describe the hardware requirement that these clocks are left on.

Cheers,

Joel

ASPEED BMC SoC have SuperIO device that default enable, even without BMC fw boot.
Host can use SUART1/SUART2/GPIO....
That the reason even Linux kernel boot should not change the SoC default clk, that is the impact.

Ok, that makes sense. Linux will not enable these clocks if a driver
is loaded for them though, so we should load a driver for them.

ESPI: We do not have an upstream driver for eSPI, but once you submit
one this will solve the eSPI issue.

LPC: The existing LPC driver will enable the clock, so by loading that
this clock will be left enabled.

UART1/UART2: This is harder, as the SUART mode means the BMC does not
load a driver for these devices. We could add a property to the device
tree to describe the clocks that must be left on?

That following the example,
BMC is stop in u-boot stage, the eSPI and LPC UART1/2 can still work fine.
But after boot into Linux, the eSPI and SUART1/2 can't work anymore,
it is disappear. That is not consistence between U-boot and kernel.
The reason is the same with AST SoC also have VGA device capability.

And another point of view, clk framework provide CLK_IS_CRITICAL flag
to support this, instead add more driver for this.

Not yet.

We have a system where the BMC (management controller) controls some
clocks, but the peripherals that it's clocking are outside the BMC's
control. In this case, the host processor us using some UARTs and what
not independent of any code running on the BMC.

Ryan wants to have them marked as critical so the BMC never powers them down.

However, there are systems that don't use this part of the soc, so for
those implementations they are not critical and Linux on the BMC can
turn them off.

Do you have any thoughts? Has anyone solved a similar problem already?

Cheers,

Joel

Take an example, conflict thought about ASPEED_CLK_GATE_BCLK is CLK_IS_CRITICAL in clk-ast2600.c
In my opinion, the driver should keep the SoC default clk setting. It is original chip feature.

Is this critical clocks in DT? Where we want to have different DT for
different device configurations to indicate that some clks should be
marked critical so they're never turned off and other times they aren't
so they're turned off?

It also sounds sort of like the protected-clocks binding. Where you
don't want to touch certain clks depending on the usage configuration of
the SoC. There is a patch to make that generic that I haven't applied
because it looks wrong at first glance[1]. Maybe not registering those
clks to the framework on the configuration that Ryan has is good enough?

Spot on.

That binding is exactly what I had in mind. I wasn't aware of it.

The drawbacks outlined in the commit message do sound concerning. I
take it we could avoid those drawbacks by having a driver-specific
implementation of protected-clocks, like qcom does?

I didn't quite follow here. Did you mean with protected-clocks, or
using a different mechanism?

Could you please be more specific than the patch "looks wrong"? I'm more than
happy to update the patch to address your concerns, but I cannot do that unless
I know what your concerns are.

Hello,
How about this patch progress?
It does impact a lot of machine that when BMC boot at u-boot.
SUART is work for Host. But after boot into kernel, due to the clk disabled.
The SUART is not work for Host anymore.

Maybe it's worth taking Ryan's patch for now, and when the protected-clocks
binding gets merged we can rip out the CLK_IS_CRITICAL flags and convert the
Aspeed devicetrees to use protected-clocks instead?

The only issue I see with that plan is it becomes ambiguous as to which clock
each platform considers crititical/in-need-of-protection.
