[PATCH v2 0/3] mfd: syscon: Add optional clock support needed on stm32

[PATCH v2 0/3] mfd: syscon: Add optional clock support needed on stm32

[Fabrice Gasnier]

STM32 syscfg registers are accessed using syscon. It needs syscfg clock
to be enabled while accessing registers.
This adds support for optional clock on syscon, and the relevant clock
in stm32mp157 device tree.

Changes in v2:
- move clocks to specific bindings using syscon as per Rob's comment

This looks ok to me in principle, but I have one question: When we
do a clk_get() and clk_prepare() as part of regmap_mmio_attach_clk(),
does that change the behavior of syscon nodes that are otherwise
unused?

I think we have a bunch of devices that started out as a syscon but
then we added a proper driver for them, which would handle the
clocks explicitly. Is it guaranteed that this will keep working (including
shutting down the clocks when they are unused) if we have two drivers
that call clk_get() on the same device node?

I'm not sure I correctly understand this question. I don't think it will
change the behavior for "unused" nodes. These should remain unused with
this patch.

I'd expect nothing wrong happens when two drivers call clk_get() for the
same clock.
Are there some case where two drivers are bind (e.g. syscon driver +
another driver) for the same piece of hardware ?

The clk_prepare() is part of regmap_mmio_attach_clk(). It's called once
upon registration via of_syscon_register(). There is currently no mean
to unregister, e.g. something like "of_syscon_unregister" and so do
clk_unprepare via regmap_mmio_detach_clk().

Then point is clk_enable()/clk_disable() calls will be used in
regmap_mmio_read() and regmap_mmio_write(). These calls are balanced.
Then clock framework should correctly disable/gate the clock when
unused, based on the enable count.

Is this answering your question?

Thanks again,
Best regards,
Fabrice

clk_unprepare via regmap_mmio_detach_clk().

Then point is clk_enable()/clk_disable() calls will be used in
regmap_mmio_read() and regmap_mmio_write(). These calls are balanced.
Then clock framework should correctly disable/gate the clock when

I'm not sure I correctly understand this question. I don't think it will
change the behavior for "unused" nodes. These should remain unused with
this patch.

I'd expect nothing wrong happens when two drivers call clk_get() for the
same clock.
Are there some case where two drivers are bind (e.g. syscon driver +
another driver) for the same piece of hardware ?

The clk_prepare() is part of regmap_mmio_attach_clk(). It's called once
upon registration via of_syscon_register(). There is currently no mean
to unregister, e.g. something like "of_syscon_unregister" and so do
clk_unprepare via regmap_mmio_detach_clk().

Then point is clk_enable()/clk_disable() calls will be used in
regmap_mmio_read() and regmap_mmio_write(). These calls are balanced.
Then clock framework should correctly disable/gate the clock when
unused, based on the enable count.

What I mean is that nodes that listed as 'compatible="syscon"' get
probed by the syscon driver even when no other driver references
them, and that in turn would acquire the clock, right?

You won't actually have two drivers binding to the same device, but you
could have a driver and a syscon user that does relies on the
syscon_regmap_lookup_by_*() functions.

I think we've had a couple of cases where we started out representing
a device as syscon, and then later decided that a high-level abstraction
would be needed because syscon didn't quite support all the needed
features.

Since each syscon node should also have a more specific
compatible value, you can then have another driver that binds
to that compatible string.

Hi Arnd,

Sorry for the late reply.

When no other driver references them, nothing happens at probe time on
the clock: no calls to get/prepare... the clock.

=> The clock will remain unrequested & unused until another driver calls
one of "of_syscon_register()" variants:
- syscon_node_to_regmap
- syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible
- syscon_regmap_lookup_by_phandle

When another driver references them (e.g. one of the above calls), then
it will acquire the optional clock and use it, e.g.:
- clk_prepare() upon of_syscon_register() variants
- clk_enable & clk_disable when accessing the registers

I hope this clarifies.

Please advise,

Fabrice
