[PATCH 0/6] soc: xilinx: vcu: provide interfaces for other drivers

[Michael Tretter <m.tretter@pengutronix.de>]

Hello,

The Xilinx VCU is glue for integrating the Allegro DVT codec into the ZynqMP
PL infrastructure. This glue is responsible for generating the clocks for the
actual codec and provides registers for reading the codec configuration. Other
drivers, e.g. the allegro-dvt driver, need to interact or at least read
information from the xlnx_vcu driver.

Therefore, the xlnx_vcu driver should provide its clocks for other drivers and
register the generated clocks in the clock tree. This allows other drivers to
simply get the clock rate via the usual interface.

It is not so simple for the second register bank (called "logicoreip" in the
original binding), because there are various registers for the encoder, the
decoder and common stuff (see PG252, H.264/H.265 Video Codec Unit v1.2, p.
14). Therefore, I decided to extract a separate binding for this register
bank, call it "xlnx,vcu-settings" and use a syscon interface that can be used
by the xlnx_vcu driver and other drivers that need this information.

I'm not too happy with this solution, but I couldn't come up with a better
solution without inventing a new interface, which I really don't want to do
for that use case.

I kept the behavior of the xlnx_vcu driver backwards compatible, to avoid
breaking systems that use device trees with the xlnx,vcu device tree node as
generated by Vivado, but to be able to use the register bank from other
drivers, you must use the new binding.
