Hi,
I am sending my clk driver for zx297520v3 boards for comment. The patch
series sits on top of my previously sent patches for very basic support
for this board [0]. The first caveat is that b4 dependencies don't seem
to do what I expected, so I have backed out the MAINTAINERS and DTSI
changes from this RFC submission. It should still be good enough to
review the actual clock driver and bindings.
I have pretty good understanding of the clock hardware, but a number of
questions about the prefered way of implementing such a driver. Either
the clock framework and its documentation are constantly evolving or I
am just bad at discovering things:
1) The clock controls on this board consist of 3 controllers that I
called - following ZTE's nomenclature - top, matrix and LSP. The top
controller is fed by two oscillators and generates other frequencies
with PLLs. I have expressed this in the device tree: The clk driver
binding requires these two clocks.
The matrix controller feeds 10 clocks to the LSP controller and can turn
them on and off on a per-clock bases. The DT bindings express this as
well - the LSP binding expects those 10 clock handles.
There are no explicit HW controls for the top->matrix link, but the
muxes and gates in the matrix controller use the PLL outputs as parents.
I have not expressed that in the binding as it would require 25 or so
clock handles. Instead, the matrix driver quietly expects the right
parent clock names to be registered by the top driver. (OTOH having 60
or so clock parameters didn't stop st,stm32mp21-rcc)
The entire LSP part (I guess the name stands for low speed peripherals)
looks like it might be reused on different baords. The top and matrix
part are very interdependent.
2) The clk-reset interaction: Both clocks and resets are in the same IO
space, sometimes in the same registers. I see a number of clk drivers
that register a reset control. I noticed Yu-Chun Lin's RTD1625 clock
submission added an aux device and placed the reset code in
drivers/reset instead. Is there a preference for either way or any
guideline of which way to use in which circumstances?
3) Unused clocks: I looked at recently introduced clk drivers
(mediatek,mt8196-clock.h, sun55i-a523-mcu-ccu.h) and they do add all a
lot of clocks that do not have an active consumer - which in a way means
unused ABI. Please let me know if you prefer to add clocks one by one as
their consumers are added.
That said, there are a lot of clocks that I want to define for the sole
purpose of shutting them off. The boot loader leaves pretty much every
device enabled, including proprietary timers that I don't even plan to
write a driver for. Registering their clocks in the kernel will allow
the kernel to shut them off, so they aren't entirely unused.
4) I took some naming from the old zx2967 code. In particular, each
device has two clocks: "WCLK" for the device operation and "PCLK" for
register access. Are there more standard names for them? Likewise I took
some device names from ZTE's downstream sources and I am open to better
suggestions.
5) I took care to test unbinding and rebinding my clock driver to the
hardware. It works at least as no clock consumers are defined. It seems
mutually exclusive though with declaring static initialization data as
__initdata, as it will be gone after the first time the driver is bound.
I also don't see how unbinding and rebinding will be tested later on
when core peripherals are clock consumers.
6) Clock name string matching vs passing pointers: A presentation by
Chen-Yu Tsai from 2024 [1] gave me the impression that the kernel is
trying to move away from building the clock tree with string matching. I
see APIs for passing a struct clk_hw * as parent instead of strings, but
that makes it more difficult to build static initialization tables. I
think the static tables make the code a lot easier to read and I prefer
that over boot time performance.
I think the list of clocks in my driver is fairly complete; It is
certainly a lot better than what the downstream ZTE drivers have. I
deduced a lot of it by trial and error. I am sure there are some clocks
missing that will need to be added to the binding later. Afaiu adding
clocks is not an issue, but removing or reordering them is an ABI break.

These SoCs have 3 clock and reset controllers. The "top" controller -
all names follow ZTE's naming - controls core devices like the AHB bus,
most timers and the Cortex M0 that brings up the board. The register
layout is fairly chaotic. Some patterns can be found, but nothing that
holds true for all devices it controls.
Generally every device has two clocks (one work clock, and one that
connects it to the bus, I call it PCLK), two reset bits (I don't know
what the difference is - sometimes asserting one is enough to reset the
device, sometimes both need to be asserted) and one mux. Some devices,
like the GPIO controller, only have reset bits and no clocks.
The top clock controller is fed by a 26mhz external oscillator and has 4
PLLs to generate other clock rates. ZTE's kernel does not manipulate the
PLLs at all and relies on BROM and the boot loader to set them up. The
bitfields in the control registers are somewhat documented in a
Lauterback TRACE32 debug file in the kernel sources though. At the
moment, my driver extracts clock rates from the PLLs, but cannot change
them. A proper PLL clk is on my TODO list before I remove the [RFC] tag
from the submission. It will be necessary for the LTE hardware with
replacement boot loaders because BROM does not set up the LTE-related
PLL.
The "matrix" controller controls the main Cortex A53 CPU, the LTE ZSP,
SDIO and a few others. It is even more chaotic than the "top"
controller.
The "LSP" controller - I suspect it stands for "low speed peripherals" -
is very regular. One 32 bit register for 2 clock gates, two resets, one
mux (1-3 bit) and in some cases a 4 bit divider.
Not all clocks will have an explicit user in the end. I am defining a
lot of them simply to shut them off. The boot loader sets up a few of
the proprietary timers, which will send regular IRQs (although the
kernel of course doesn't need to listen to them). I don't plan to add a
driver for the proprietary timer as I see no use for them - the ARM arch
timer works just fine. I will add a driver for the very similar
proprietary watchdog though.
The top and matrix list is not exhaustive. There are other bits
that are enabled, but I couldn't deduce what they are controlling by
trial and error. Some of them seem to do nothing. Others cause an
instant hang of the board when disabled. I isolated a few (SRAM PCLK,
arm arch timer clock) where I don't see a reason to manipulate them. It
is quite likely that a handful more clocks will be added in the future,
but not a large number.

+description: |
+ The zx297520v3's clock controller consists of 3 controllers, which generate
+ clocks for internal SoC devices. In addition to clocks it also has reset
+ controls for most, but not all, devices.
+
+ While there is a certain hierarchy among the controllers ("top" controlls core
+ parts like the boot-up Cortex M0, "matrix" controls the main CPU and LTE DSP,
+ "lsp" controls peripherals"), in practise all 3 are required to reasonably
+ operate the SoC.
+
+ The top controller has two inputs: a 26 MHz and a 32 KHz external oscillator.
+ They need to be provided as input clocks. The matrix controller controlls 10
+ clock lines that get fed into the LSP controller. The LSP device node needs
+ to list these input clocks.
+
+ The matrix controller consumes clocks generated by PLLs in the top
+ controller, but there are no controls in the top controller to sever this
+ link. The interface between these controllers is not expressed in the device
+ tree, but the matrix controller cannot work without the clock handles
+ registered by the top controller.
+
+ All available clocks are defined as preprocessor macros in
+ 'dt-bindings/clock/zte,zx297520v3-clk.h' header.

This register space controls core devices: PLLs, the AHB bus, a lot of
timers, the USB controller, the Cortex M0 processor that boots the board
and a few other devices. For some reason the LTE coprocessor is also
partially controlled by it. The main application processor and DDR
memory are not found here though.
The register to reboot the board is also found here.

This controls the CPU, DSP, DDR RAM, ethernet, SDIO controllers and a
few more devices. It also contains a number of clock gates to pass
clock signals down to the next controller.

"LSP" is ZTE's term for this part of the SoC, I suspect it stands for
"low speed peripherals". The main UART is here, together with the flash
controller and more surplus proprietary timers.
It also has two more I2C controllers that supposedly connect to a
battery charger, SPI for displays and I2S for analog telephones. The
boards I have don't have any of these components though.

So this obviously doesn't build, and I didn't spot it because the git branch I
sent this from didn't have the Kconfig options introduced by my other patch
series. I'll resend, my apologies for the quick v2 spam.

Should this hardware dependency be explicitly modeled in the device tree?
Device tree design principles generally rely on explicitly modeled
connections to handle probe ordering correctly.

Since clocks and clock-names are defined globally in the schema, but there
is no conditional block explicitly forbidding them for the matrix controller
using zte,zx297520v3-matrixclk, will the schema silently permit invalid clock
assignments for the matrix node?
Could an if/then block be added to set clocks to false for the matrix
controller?

Are these fixed-clock example nodes missing the mandatory clock-frequency
property? Omitting it might cause dt_binding_check to report schema
validation errors.

This isn't a bug, but should these node names reflect the generic class
of the device, like clock-controller@13b000, instead of hardware block
designations like topclk, matrixclk, and lspclk? Standard conventions
require generic node names, and dt_binding_check might warn about this.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 6 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] The driver uses the internal `__clk_lookup` function, which is not exported to modules, causing a linker error.
- [High] The reset controller operations lack locking, leading to read-modify-write race conditions on shared registers.
- [High] The clock provider is registered using `of_clk_add_hw_provider()` but never deregistered, leading to a Use-After-Free vulnerability.
- [High] Reset controller callbacks dereference unpopulated reset IDs without validation, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.
- [High] Incorrect error checking for `devm_platform_ioremap_resource()` leads to an unhandled `ERR_PTR` dereference.
- [High] The reset controller's `.status` callback returns inverted logic compared to the reset API requirements.

clk: zte: Introduce a driver for zx297520v3 top clocks and resets.
This commit introduces a driver for the ZTE zx297520v3 top clocks and
resets, which controls core devices like PLLs, the AHB bus, and timers.

Does this code safely handle unpopulated reset IDs?
The resets array is zero-initialized via devm_kzalloc(), and only specific IDs
have their .reg address populated in the probe function. If a consumer requests
an unpopulated ID, could data->resets[id].reg be NULL, leading to a NULL
pointer dereference here?
Additionally, does this read-modify-write sequence need locking?
Several reset IDs share the same physical register (e.g., offset 0x74 is used
by PMM, TIMER_T12, and others). If concurrent reset operations occur for
different devices on the same register, could the read-modify-write cycles
overlap and corrupt the register state?

Is the return value of this status callback inverted?
In zx297520v3_rst_assert(), the reset is asserted by clearing the mask bits.
However, this status function returns 1 when the bits are set (deasserted) and
0 when the bits are cleared (asserted). The reset API expects the status
callback to return a positive value when the reset line is asserted.

Does devm_platform_ioremap_resource() return NULL on failure?
This function returns an ERR_PTR (such as ERR_PTR(-EINVAL)) on failure, not
NULL. If mapping fails, the WARN_ON check will pass and the error pointer will
be used as a base address in subsequent calls like zx297520v3_pll(), causing
an invalid memory access. Should this be checked with IS_ERR() instead?

Will this cause a linker error if the driver is built as a module?
The Kconfig defines COMMON_CLK_ZX297520V3 as a tristate option, but
__clk_lookup() is an internal clock framework function that is not exported.
If the driver is compiled as a module, this might cause an undefined symbol
linker error for __clk_lookup.

Is there a missing cleanup for this clock provider?
The driver registers the clock provider with of_clk_add_hw_provider(), but
doesn't seem to use the managed devm_of_clk_add_hw_provider() or provide a
.remove callback to deregister it.
If a later probe step (like devm_reset_controller_register()) fails, or if the
driver is unbound, top->clocks will be freed by devres. Could this leave a
dangling pointer in the global of_clk_providers list and cause a
use-after-free?

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 9 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Incorrect error checking for `devm_platform_ioremap_resource()` return value leads to an invalid pointer dereference.
- [High] The critical `PDCFG` clock shares mux register bits with `EDCP` and defines an invalid mux parent size.
- [High] Missing cleanup for OF clock provider causes a use-after-free on probe failure or module unbind.
- [High] Error codes from clock registration are masked by a hardcoded `-ENODEV`, breaking deferred probing.
- [High] Reset assert and deassert operations perform read-modify-write on shared hardware registers without holding locks.
- [Medium] Duplicate DT index mapping for `ZX297520V3_GMAC_RMII` overwrites clock provider array data.
- [Medium] Unchecked return value from `devm_clk_hw_register_mux()` for `tdm_mux`.
- [Low] Multiple `module_platform_driver()` macros in a single file cause a build error.
- [Low] Unacceptable use of `#if 0` blocks to store dead code.

clk: zte: Introduce a driver for zx297520v3 matrix clocks and resets.
This controls the CPU, DSP, DDR RAM, ethernet, SDIO controllers and a
few more devices. It also contains a number of clock gates to pass
clock signals down to the next controller.

Can changing the rate or parent of the EDCP clock inadvertently modify the PDCFG
parent? Both clocks appear to share the same mux register and shift
(0x50, 16, 2).
Since PDCFG is a critical clock with only a single parent (clk_unknown), would
it be safer to use 0, 0, 0 for its mux registers to prevent it from being
accidentally disabled?

Does this unintentionally assign the identical ID ZX297520V3_GMAC_RMII to both
gmac_rmii and gmac_wclk?
During registration, gmac_wclk might silently overwrite gmac_rmii in the
clocks->hws array, making the first clock inaccessible via direct DT provider
lookup.

Is it strictly necessary to include this block of code inside an #if 0 block?
Usually, code is removed entirely until it is fully functional to adhere to

Does this correctly handle failure? devm_platform_ioremap_resource() returns an
error pointer like -EINVAL on failure, not NULL.
A WARN_ON(!matrix->base) would evaluate to false, allowing the code to continue
and subsequently dereference an invalid pointer. Should this check
IS_ERR(matrix->base) instead?

Is it intentional to ignore the return value of devm_clk_hw_register_mux()?
If this registration fails and returns an error pointer, the error is never
checked, which might silently break clocks depending on tdm_mux as a parent.

Will returning a hardcoded -ENODEV break deferred probing?
If a required parent clock is not yet available, masking the actual error code
from PTR_ERR() prevents -EPROBE_DEFER from propagating to the driver core,
causing the probe to fail permanently.

Could this leak the provider registration or cause a use-after-free on probe
failure?
If the subsequent call to devm_reset_controller_register() fails, the
devm-managed matrix->clocks will be freed, but the global OF provider remains
registered since of_clk_add_hw_provider() doesn't tie cleanup to the driver's
lifecycle.
Would devm_of_clk_add_hw_provider() be better suited here?

Since module_platform_driver(clk_zx297520v3_topclk) already exists earlier in
this file, does adding another module_platform_driver() here cause a build
error?
The macro expands to module_init() and module_exit(), and using it more than
once typically causes a redefinition failure when compiled as a loadable module.

clk: zte: Introduce a driver for zx297520v3 LSP clocks and resets.
"LSP" is ZTE's term for this part of the SoC, I suspect it stands for
"low speed peripherals". The main UART is here, together with the flash
controller and more surplus proprietary timers.

The comment above states that Bit 0 is for PCLK and Bit 1 is for WCLK.
However, passing 0 and 1 to this macro seems to map to wclk_gate_shift and
pclk_gate_shift in struct zx297520v3_composite.
Does this accidentally assign wclk_gate_shift to 0 and pclk_gate_shift to 1,
swapping the gate controls?
Also, the clock gate, mux, and reset controls are assigned to the exact same
memory offset (a shared 32-bit register).
The clock framework uses reg_lock for read-modify-write operations. Do the
reset controller operations (like zx297520v3_rst_assert) use the same lock?
If they read and write these registers locklessly, could concurrent clock
and reset operations cause a data race resulting in lost writes?

Does this array declaration use an incompatible pointer type?
The array is declared as an array of pointers to const char *, but is
initialized directly with string literals. When parent_names[i] is passed to
devm_clk_get() below, it passes a pointer-to-pointer instead of a string.
This can trigger build errors on compilers like GCC 14.
Should this be declared as static const char * const parent_names[] instead?

Since devm_platform_ioremap_resource() returns an ERR_PTR on failure rather
than NULL, this WARN_ON() will not catch failures because an ERR_PTR
evaluates to true.
If the invalid error pointer is then passed into zx297520v3_composite()
as the base address, will this lead to a kernel panic when read/write
operations occur?
Should this use IS_ERR() and return PTR_ERR() instead?

Since lsp->clocks is allocated using devm_kzalloc(), it will be
automatically freed if devm_reset_controller_register() fails later or if
the driver is unbound.
Because the clock provider is registered with of_clk_add_hw_provider()
instead of the managed devm_of_clk_add_hw_provider(), could the provider
remain registered to the device node after lsp->clocks is freed?
Will this leave a dangling pointer that triggers a use-after-free upon the
next clock lookup?
