[PATCH] clk: imx8qxp: Defer instead of failing probe

[PATCH] clk: imx8qxp: Defer instead of failing probe

[Diogo Manuel Pais Silva]

When of_clk_parent_fill is run before all the parent clocks have been probed then the probe function will return -EINVAL, making it so that the probe isn't attempted again. As fw_devlink is on by default this does not usually happen, but if fw_devlink is disabled then it is very possible that the parent clock will be probed after the lpcg first attempt, and the lpcg clock will not work.

Use dev_err_probe?

[PATCH v3] clk: imx8qxp: Defer instead of failing probe

[Diogo Manuel Pais Silva]

When of_clk_parent_fill is ran without all the parent clocks having been
probed then the probe function will return -EINVAL, making it so that
the probe isn't attempted again. As fw_devlink is on by default this
does not usually happen, but if fw_devlink is disabled then it is very
possible that the parent clock will be probed after the lpcg first
attempt.

Re: [PATCH v3] clk: imx8qxp: Defer instead of failing probe

[Diogo Manuel Pais Silva]

Hi Peng,

Thanks for pointing that out, I missed it. I will submit a v4.
Yes, the issue only happens when fw_devlink is disabled. I believe this is because devlink generates the device dependency graphs and only probes this device when all the dependencies are met. When the devlink is disabled this dependency is not respect as far as probing order goes, so it can happen that the device is probed when the clock parent is yet to be probed.

Best regards,
Diogo Silva

The change is not enough, you also need to handle
        ret = imx_lpcg_parse_clks_from_dt(pdev, np);
        if (!ret)
                return 0;

[PATCH v4] clk: imx8qxp: Defer instead of failing probe

[Diogo Manuel Pais Silva]

When of_clk_parent_fill is ran without all the parent clocks having been
probed then the probe function will return -EINVAL, making it so that
the probe isn't attempted again. As fw_devlink is on by default this
does not usually happen, but if fw_devlink is disabled then it is very
possible that the parent clock will be probed after the lpcg first
attempt.

Did you meet issue with fw_devlink disabled?

The change is not enough, you also need to handle
        ret = imx_lpcg_parse_clks_from_dt(pdev, np);
        if (!ret)
                return 0;
->
        ret = imx_lpcg_parse_clks_from_dt(pdev, np);
        if (!ret)
                return 0;
        if (ret == -EPROBE_DEFER)
                return ret;

Regards,
Peng.

It would be better to move to struct clk_parent_data here and use the
.index member if possible. That would allow the clks to be registered
without their parent(s) being registered. It lets the core take care of
finding the parents.
