[PATCH 1/3] fs_enet: update clock names to comply with FEC binding

[Gerhard Sittig]

a recent FEC binding document update that was motivated by i.MX
development revealed that ARM and PowerPC implementations in Linux
did not agree on the clock names to use for the FEC nodes

change the OF clock lookup to prefer "ipg" over "per", which
improves compliance with the binding, and keeps compatibility
with former device trees

[PATCH 2/3] dts: mpc512x: adjust clock specs for FEC nodes

[Gerhard Sittig]

a recent FEC binding document update that was motivated by i.MX
development revealed that ARM and PowerPC implementations in Linux
did not agree on the clock names to use for the FEC nodes

change clock names from "per" to "ipg" in the FEC nodes of the
mpc5121.dtsi include file such that the .dts specs comply with
the common FEC binding

this "incompatible" change does not break operation, because
- COMMON_CLK support for MPC5121/23/25 and adjusted .dts files
  were only introduced in Linux v3.14-rc1, no mainline release
  provided these specs before
- if this change won't make it for v3.14, the MPC512x CCF support
  provides full backwards compability, and keeps operating with
  device trees which lack clock specs or don't match in the names

ping

Are there opinions about making PowerPC users of FEC use the same
clock names as ARM users do, to re-use (actually: keep sharing)
the FEC binding?  The alternative would be to fragment the FEC
binding into several bindings for ARM and PowerPC, which I feel
would be undesirable, and is not necessary.

It would be nice to ship v3.14 (the first release with proper CCF
support for MPC512x) in a shape that is consistent with other FEC
users (ARM i.MX).  We are lucky to have noticed the difference
before the release, and need not introduce the incompatibility,
and need not document and support obsolete conditions but can fix
them instead.

As I already said, Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/fsl-fec.txt
was created specifically for i.MX FEC controller from day one.  And even
as of today, it doesn't serve PowerPC, because for example the property
'phy-mode' documented as required one is not required by PowerPC FEC.
My opinion would be to patch fsl-fec.txt a little bit to make it clear
that it's a binding doc for i.MX FEC, and create the other one for
PowerPC FEC.  This is the way less confusing to people and easier for
binding maintenance.

Should we still try to have a common behaviour where possible?
Such that even if there are two bindings, they don't diverge in
"unnecessary" ways?

But given that we already are past -rc5, I guess the suggested
change is too late for v3.14 anyway.  So we have to live with the
fact of a mainline release of different behaviour.

And the backwards compatibility support in the MPC512x CCF
implementation allows to cope with a potential future "ipg"
unification while still working with former "per" using device
trees.  There's no blocker.  So nevermind.

Maybe the long term goal should be to share the code. The MPC5200 FEC
and the i.MX FEC are very similar. Only the DMA engine is quite
different.

[PATCH 3/3] dt/bindings: fsl-fec: add "per" to clock properties

[Gerhard Sittig]

a recent FEC binding document update that was motivated by i.MX
development revealed that ARM and PowerPC implementations in Linux
did not agree on the clock names to use for the FEC nodes

update the FEC (fast ethernet controller) binding to document the
"per" clock name as an obsolete alias for "ipg"

Signed-off-by: Gerhard Sittig <gsi-ynQEQJNshbs@public.gmane.org>
---

this patch depends on "dt/bindings: fsl-fec: add clock properties"
by Shawn Guo which introduces the context of this patch

the patch only is necessary if the MPC5121 .dtsi update (switch
FEC nodes from "per" to "ipg") won't make it for v3.14
