Can you just make the clock node a child of the system controller and 
drop this?

Hi Rob,

As I mentioned before technically that could be done, but it would really not be at all 
reflective of the hardware & so seems somewhat contrary to the purpose of a device tree.

Thanks,

Hi Rob,
 
(Apologies to anyone who received my last; my mail client seems to be 
misconfigured & previously sent HTML mail.)

As I mentioned before technically that could be done, but it would really not 
be at all reflective of the hardware & so seems somewhat contrary to the 
purpose of a device tree.
 
Thanks,

Given that you need a reference back to the system controller, it does
match the h/w. The system controller h/w contains various functions,
therefore the system controller node should contain nodes for those
functions (or the sys ctrlr itself could be the clock provider node
with no child nodes). Otherwise, what is the parent of the clock node?
Root? Root should generally be the top level devices of the SoC,
though it gets used for things which have no good parent.

Hi Rob,

The "system controller" here is a bunch of registers which contain information 
about the system - nothing more & nothing less. There are a few random bits of 
functionality such as system level reset exposed through them, but things like 
clocks are not part of some coherent block of hardware known as the system 
controller. The register exposing information about the clocks has no actual 
connection to the clocks at all - it's just a dumb register whose value is 
filled in by whomever generates the FPGA bitfile. I don't see how that can be 
reasonably seen as the clocks being a child of this ecclectic bunch of 
registers.

Perhaps the use of syscon has been misleading here? I'm using the syscon code 
purely as a nice way to obtain a regmap to that bunch of registers. Please 
believe me when I say I know this hardware well enough to know that there 
isn't a coherent block of system controller hardware that provides the clocks 
here.

Thanks,
    Paul

This sounds pretty much how every clk controller or syscon/mfd is
made. A dumb register set that controls a bunch of hard macros
placed by hardware designers. It just so happens that there are
other things in this register set that aren't clk controls.

Can you further describe what being a child device means to you?
There must be some reason why a child device is wrong from your
perspective that isn't coming across here.

The problem I have, from a DT perspective, is that the clks are
not on the board. Clks that live on the board go to the root of
the DT tree under / or some container clks node. In this case the
clks are in the SoC, so they should go into the SoC node, not the
root. But the SoC node should have a reg property for each child
node, and this node wouldn't have a reg property because it uses
a regmap, so from a DT perspective that's also the wrong place to
put this node.

Therefore, the best solution is to make the clk controller node a
child of the syscon, and then the reg property doesn't exist in
the clk controller node. This also nicely removes any linuxism of
needing to have a regmap property (regmap is not really a
hardware concept and is fairly linux specific) because we can
grab the regmap handle from the parent device/node.

Technically having the child node for the clk controller part is
abusing DT. We should really only have one node for the syscon,
which probes a driver that then creates platform devices in
software to match up with other drivers for the specific
functions that are accessible through the dumb register set. But
since we have MFD/syscons quite often, and things get sort of
messy when all these different things are going on within one
node and thus one big driver, we allow MFDs to be described in DT
with sub-nodes that are for the sub-functions so that we can have
drivers match up appropriately. Otherwise we're left with a big
driver for the MFD that becomes sort of like a board file to
register sub devices, or a mash up of all these different
functions that use one struct device.

[PATCH v3 17/18] clk: boston: Add a driver for MIPS Boston board clocks

[Paul Burton]

Add a driver for the clocks provided by the MIPS Boston board from
Imagination Technologies. 2 clocks are provided - the system clock & the
CPU clock - and each is a simple fixed rate clock whose frequency can be
determined by reading a register provided by the board.

Changes in v3: None
Changes in v2:
- Support BOSTON_CLK_INPUT.
- Register clocks with clk_register_fixed_rate during boot, removing need for clk_ops.
- s/uint32_t/u32/.
- Move driver to a vendor directory.

Hello,

I realise the merge window may be a busy time for you, but would it be possible to get 
review of this (preferrably acks!) so Ralf can take it through the MIPS tree as part of Boston 
board support? It hasn't changed since v2 which was posted on 30th August.

Thanks,
    Paul
