[RFC PATCH] arm64: dts: qcom: sc7280: Drop aggre{1,2}_noc QOS clocks on Herobrine

[Brian Norris]

Ever since these two commits

  fbd908bb8bc0 ("interconnect: qcom: sc7280: enable QoS configuration")
  2b5004956aff ("arm64: dts: qcom: sc7280: Add clocks for QOS configuration")

Herobrine systems fail to boot due to crashes like the following:

Specifically, they fail in qcom_icc_set_qos() when trying to write the
QoS settings for qhm_qup1. Several of the previous nodes (qhm_qspi,
qhm_qup0, ...) seem to configure without crashing.

I don't really know what's unique about Herobrine systems vs other
sc7280 systems that presumably work fine. I'd guess there's some
conflict with something configured by the boot firmware.

I'm submitting as an RFC just to get thoughts from people who hopefully
know better than me what might be going wrong here.

I think it well might be that Herobrine's TZ doesn't export QoS regions
to Linux.

While it might be enough for Linux to make it skip the QoS, I think a
more correct fix would be to remove the 'reg' instead / in addition.

On the other hand, having those boards used by only a few people it
might be easier to just pick up the simple fix rather than implementing
a 'proper' one.

Nevertheless, this would require changing the schema too, see
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interconnect/qcom,sc7280-rpmh.yaml

My bot found new DTB warnings on the .dts files added or changed in this
series.

Some warnings may be from an existing SoC .dtsi. Or perhaps the warnings
are fixed by another series. Ultimately, it is up to the platform
maintainer whether these warnings are acceptable or not. No need to reply
unless the platform maintainer has comments.

If you already ran DT checks and didn't see these error(s), then
make sure dt-schema is up to date:

  pip3 install dtschema --upgrade


This patch series was applied (using b4) to base:
 Base: attempting to guess base-commit...
 Base: tags/v6.17-rc1-15-g42feeddbbce6 (exact match)

If this is not the correct base, please add 'base-commit' tag

Hi Dmitry,

Thanks for the response.

That may be. I don't really know what to look for to verify that without
a lot of research, aside from crashes like this though. I'm fine with
assuming this though.

That should work too. However, besides simply violating
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interconnect/qcom,sc7280-rpmh.yaml
(which is easy enough to tweak), that also violates basic simple-bus
rules:

arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sc7280-herobrine-crd.dtb: soc@0 (simple-bus): interconnect@16e0000: 'anyOf' conditional failed, one must be fixed:
	'reg' is a required property
	'ranges' is a required property
	from schema $id: http://devicetree.org/schemas/simple-bus.yaml#
[...]

Sure, I've tested out a change just to tweak the clock requirements.
I'll plan on submitting that if no solution arises for the 'reg' schema.
