XCLKOUT in exynos5250 clock driver

XCLKOUT in exynos5250 clock driver

[Mark Brown]

I appear to be missing something in the clock driver for the exynos5250.
I'm looking at the Arndale schematic and I see that the audio master
clock is connected to XCLKOUT on the SoC.  However I can't see any
reference to XCLKOUT or anything similar in the clock driver or any of
the DTS files - where is this clock exposed by the clock driver?

Unfortunately I haven't been able to get access to the datasheet for the
part so I can't check this myself.

Information as per Exynos5250 user manual:
"XCLKOUT is an output pin for debugging clocks. Exynos5250 has a CLKOUT
logic which can select one of the clocks (within its clock domains) and
output that through XCLKOUT pin."

Not sure if XCLKOUT on Arndale schematics means the same.

Yeah, I know what XCLKOUT is but to implement this in the driver and DT
I'd need to know about the register or registers that are used to
configure the mux.

I'd be astonished if it meant anything else, it's fairly clearly
labelled as that on the schematics and this is a *very* common pattern
in system designs using Samsung SoCs.

This is something that's not yet supported in the mainline kernels I'm
afraid.

I suspect that the same, you can easily verify that by checking what ball
identifier corresponds to XCLKOUT pin and how the routing looks like on
the schematics.

We have a bit hackish patch that adds support for the CLKOUT at the
Exynos4 clocks driver to enable the audio codec. An issue here is that the
CLKOUT mux and divider control bitfield is in the PMU registers (as opposed
to CMU where the clock  control registers normally are) and additionally
single register contains the clock mux/divider bitfield as well as couple
other unrelated control bits. Depending if those other bits are considered
really important or not it it might another reason to expose (part of ?)
PMU registers through syscon-like interface. There are registers in PMU
that multiple drivers would be interested in, so instead of all of them to
independently memory map and mess with single registers, probably a regmap
interface could be used. Not sure if this solves the problem well, since
each driver would need to have coded SoC specific register offsets.

It can be seen in the Galaxy S3 kernel code how the Exynos5 CLKOUT handling
might look like. See enum xclkout_select [1], exynos5_pmu_xclkout_set [2].
It would be good someone who has access to the datasheet come up with at
with some patch so the audio works are not blocked. I'm not working right
now on Exynos5 :P.

I was trying to be polite :)

Right, for what it's worth it's ball AJ27 marked as XCLKOUT/ETC6_1

Sounds like it'd be a good idea to do that if only for the purpose of
describing things clearly in the DT.

I suspect I can reverse engineer something from this, though it would be
much easier for someone with the datasheet.
