This binding needs review from DT maintainers before I apply it, but as
a general note it's typical to add the binding *before* its use in the
series. That is, this patch should come before patch 3.

Personally I'd squash it with patch 1 so the binding & the header file
needed to use the binding are added in one patch, then a later patch
actually makes use of them.

Thanks,
Paul

You didn't answer Stephen's question on v1.

Based on this binding, there is no way to control/program the PLL. Is
this part of some IP block?

I thought he was asking why there's a syscon in compatible string. I
noticed that the syscon in my previous patch is a copy-paste error
from elsewhere and dropped it.

The entire section is called "system control" in datasheet and is
occupied in arch/mips/ralink/mt7621.c [0]
Two clocks provided here is determined by reading some read-only
registers in this part.
There's another register in this section providing clock gates for
every peripherals, but MTK doesn't provide a clock plan in their
datasheet. I can't determine corresponding clock frequencies for every
peripherals, thus unable to write a working clock driver.

In provided link [0] the ralink_clk_init function is reading SYSC_REG_CPLL_CLKCFG0 R/W register.
This register is used to determine clock source, clock freq and CPU or bus clocks.
SYSC_REG_CPLL_CLKCFG1 register is a clock gate controller. It is used to enable or disable clocks.
Jist wild assumption. All peripheral devices are suing bus clock.

IMO - this information is enough to create full blown drivers/clk/mediatek/clk-mt7621.c

This register should only be changed by bootloader, not kernel. So
it's read-only in kernel's perspective.

This assumption is incorrect. When this patchset is applied in
OpenWrt, I asked the author why there's still a fixed clock in
mt7621.dtsi, He told me that there's another clock for those unchanged
peripherals and he doesn't have time to write a clock provider for it.
I don't know how many undocumented clocks are there since this piece
of info is missing in datasheet.

And this information isn't enough because the assumption above is incorrect :P

there is no kernel perspective, until you have some kind of privilege
separation. There is only: "i decided not to write on to writeable
register".

Ok, let's assume I accept this not technical argumentation.

We have at least 2 know registers:
SYSC_REG_CPLL_CLKCFG0 - it provides some information about boostrapped
refclock. PLL and dividers used for CPU and some sort of BUS (AHB?).
SYSC_REG_CPLL_CLKCFG1 - a banch of gates to enable/disable clocks for
all or some ip cores. What is probably missing is a set of dividers for
each ip core. From your words it is not document.

With this information the clk driver will provide gate functionality and
a set of hardcoded clocks. With this driver will work part of power
management and nice devicetree without fixed clocks.

This discussion is in Chinese and using an IM software so there's no
link available.

The specific missing part I was referring to, is parent clocks for
every gates. I'm not going to assume this with current openwrt device
tree because some peripherals doesn't have a clock binding at all or
have a dummy one there.

Ok, then I do not understand what is the motivation to upstream
something what is not nearly ready for use. This code is currently on
prototyping phase and you have no information how to make it ready.

It means, we cannot expect that this driver will be fixed any time soon.

Why isn't it "ready for use" then?
A complete mt7621-pll driver will contain two parts:
1. A clock provider which outputs several clocks
2. A clock gate with parent clocks properly configured

Two clocks provided here are just two clocks that can't be controlled
in kernel no matter where it goes (arch/mips/ralink or drivers/clk).
Having a working CPU clock provider is better than defining a fixed
clock in dts because CPU clock can be controlled by bootloader.
(BTW description for CPU PLL register is also missing in datasheet.)
Clock gate is an unrelated part and there is no information to
properly implement it unless MTK decided to release a clock plan
somehow.

> This code is currently on prototyping phase

Code for clock calculation is done, not "prototyping".

> It means, we cannot expect that this driver will be fixed any time soon.

I think clock gating is a separated feature instead of a broken part
that has to be fixed.

With other words, your complete system is running with unknown clock
rates. The source clock in the clock three can be configured differently
by bootloader but you don't know how it is done how and it is not
documented.

Ok, i would agree with it. But from what you said, this feature will be
never implemented.

So, I repeat my question. What is the point to upstream code for a
system, which has not enough information to get proper clock rate even
for uart? or is uart running with cpu or bus clock rate?

And without this patchset the complete system is running with unknown
clock and, even worse, we make assumptions about what clock bootloader
uses, hardcoded it in dts and hope it is the correct value.

Actually, I don't know about this and I didn't wrote the original
clock calculation code. I just ported it from downstream OpenWrt
kernel. Here's a piece of code from Mediatek's SDK kernel:

case 0:
reg = (*(volatile u32 *)(RALINK_SYSCTL_BASE + 0x44));
cpu_fdiv = ((reg >> 8) & 0x1F);
cpu_ffrac = (reg & 0x1F);
mips_cpu_feq = (500 * cpu_ffrac / cpu_fdiv) * 1000 * 1000;
break;
case 1: //CPU PLL
reg = (*(volatile u32 *)(RALINK_MEMCTRL_BASE + 0x648));
fbdiv = ((reg >> 4) & 0x7F) + 1;
reg = (*(volatile u32 *)(RALINK_SYSCTL_BASE + 0x10));
reg = (reg >> 6) & 0x7;
if(reg >= 6) { //25Mhz Xtal
mips_cpu_feq = 25 * fbdiv * 1000 * 1000;

uart runs of a fixed 50MHz clock according to another piece of code
from MTK SDK:
(a pastebin version here for better readability. This specific
question has nothing to do with patch reviewing and doesn't need to be
preserved in mail forever.)
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/fYmtDFW9nh/

I could ask the same question:
What is the point of upstreaming an incomplete MT7621 support in the
first place? Current MT7621 support in upstream kernel works only for
mt7621a not mt7621s and it runs of unknown clocks. These kind of code
should stay in downstream projects like OpenWrt forever isn't it?

And in fact you've upstreamed a broken ag71xx driver anyway.

This debate goes nowhere. I've clarified the situation and made my
point. Of course I can't read through the ancient and heavily hacked
vendor kernel to figure out a clock plan myself.

ok.

lets see more code:
drivers/staging/mt7621-mmc/sd.c
/* clock source for host: global */
#if defined(CONFIG_SOC_MT7620)
static u32 hclks[] = {48000000}; /* +/- by chhung */
#elif defined(CONFIG_SOC_MT7621)
static u32 hclks[] = {50000000}; /* +/- by chhung */
#endif

hm.. 50Mhz again. Feels like APB clock.

./drivers/staging/mt7621-dts/mt7621.dtsi
cpuclock: cpuclock@0 {
#clock-cells = <0>;
compatible = "fixed-clock";

/* FIXME: there should be way to detect this */
clock-frequency = <880000000>;
};

Your driver is trying to cover cpuclock

sysclock: sysclock@0 {
#clock-cells = <0>;
compatible = "fixed-clock";

/* This is normally 1/4 of cpuclock */
clock-frequency = <220000000>;
};

and most probably system clock alias "bus clock", most probably AHB.

i2c: i2c@900 {
compatible = "mediatek,mt7621-i2c";
clocks = <&sysclock>;

looks like i2c is using AHB clock.

uartlite: uartlite@c00 {
compatible = "ns16550a";

clocks = <&sysclock>;
clock-frequency = <50000000>;

and uart is suing APB clock

spi0: spi@b00 {
compatible = "ralink,mt7621-spi";
clocks = <&sysclock>;

SPI -> APB

xhci: xhci@1E1C0000 {
compatible = "mediatek,mt8173-xhci";
clocks = <&sysclock>;
clock-names = "sys_ck";
XHCI -> AHB


ethernet: ethernet@1e100000 {
compatible = "mediatek,mt7621-eth";
clocks = <&sysclock>;
clock-names = "ethif";

Ethernet -> AHB
So, all device are using two groups of clocks. System clock with seems
to depend on CPU clock.
Or 50MHz clock. Which is for some unknow reason always 50MHz.

Here we have already upstream code:
arch/mips/ralink/mt7620.c
xtal_rate = mt7620_get_xtal_rate();

#define RFMT(label) label ":%lu.%03luMHz "
#define RINT(x) ((x) / 1000000)
#define RFRAC(x) (((x) / 1000) % 1000)

if (is_mt76x8()) {
if (xtal_rate == MHZ(40))
cpu_rate = MHZ(580);
else
cpu_rate = MHZ(575);
dram_rate = sys_rate = cpu_rate / 3;
periph_rate = MHZ(40);
pcmi2s_rate = MHZ(480);

ralink_clk_add("10000d00.uartlite", periph_rate);
ralink_clk_add("10000e00.uartlite", periph_rate);


which is doing same as I requested before. Well, preferred in
drivers/clk/ manner.

I need to admit. I really like the idea of pushing all downstream
OpenWrt code mainline. And respect every one who is doing it.

Other question, do this platfrom SoC really worth it? Vendor seems do
not care about it. This product belong to

> And in fact you've upstreamed a broken ag71xx driver anyway.

I don't think this example is nearly comparable. We have enough
documentation to provide working driver. For mainlining was removed
everything what do not belong there:
- direct reading and writing to system wide clock registers. This should
be done over clk framework.
- switch support. It should be done in dsa framework, not inside of
ethernet driver.
- ethertool support was removed to reduce review overhead and can be add
later if need.
- debugfs support was removed removed to reduce review overhead and can
be add later if need.
- phy or board specific quirks was removed as well. This has nothing
todo with ethernet driver and belong to other frameworks or drivers.

Ok, I provided you some productive technical hints how it should be
done. I don't think mt7620 has better documentation then mt7621 and even
in this case it was possible to make more or less good driver.

This sysclock was the 50MHz clock in OpenWrt. It's set as "bus clock"
upstream by an incorrect commit.
As already stated in previous reply: I'm not going to make assumption
about clock plan using OpenWrt's device tree because it already
contains several mistakes on clocks. Since the upstream device tree
comes from there, I don't trust it either. You might want to check out
patch 6/6 in this series where the original author of this commit in
openwrt fixed some clocks and I ported it here.

It does. A clock plan for mt7620 is available in MT7620 Programming
Guide, Page 14.
