Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.17-6.1] clk: at91: clk-sam9x60-pll: force write to PLL_UPDT register
Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2025 10:49:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251026144958.26750-32-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251026144958.26750-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@microchip.com>

[ Upstream commit af98caeaa7b6ad11eb7b7c8bfaddc769df2889f3 ]

This register is important for sequencing the commands to PLLs, so
actually write the update bits with regmap_write_bits() instead of
relying on a read/modify/write regmap command that could skip the actual
hardware write if the value is identical to the one read.

It's changed when modification is needed to the PLL, when
read-only operation is done, we could keep the call to
regmap_update_bits().

Add a comment to the sam9x60_div_pll_set_div() function that uses this
PLL_UPDT register so that it's used consistently, according to the
product's datasheet.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

YES
- `regmap_update_bits()` skips the hardware write when the target value
  matches the current value, so repeated programming of the PLL update
  register could silently do nothing. The replacement with
  `regmap_write_bits()`—which forces the transaction by passing
  `force=true` down to `_regmap_update_bits()` (see
  `include/linux/regmap.h:1340` and
  `drivers/base/regmap/regmap.c:3247`)—guarantees every update command
  actually reaches the PMC.
- The fix touches every path that modifies PLL state: the PLL enable
  sequence now forces the ID latch and both update pulses in
  `sam9x60_frac_pll_set()` (`drivers/clk/at91/clk-sam9x60-pll.c:96`,
  `:128`, `:136`), and the disable path does the same (`:164-175`).
  Without these forced writes, the “apply changes” strobes could be
  dropped, leaving MUL/FRAC reprogramming or ENPLL clears
  unapplied—manifesting as PLLs that refuse to retune or power down.
- Divider programming follows the same requirement:
  `sam9x60_div_pll_set()`, `_unprepare()`, `_set_rate_chg()`, and the
  notifier all now force the ID and UPDATE pulse (`drivers/clk/at91/clk-
  sam9x60-pll.c:365-413`, `:528-599`). This prevents cases where DVFS
  notifier transitions or runtime rate changes fail because the write
  was skipped, which can lead to over-clocking or clocks stuck at stale
  divisors.
- Read-only users are intentionally left on `regmap_update_bits()` (e.g.
  `sam9x60_div_pll_is_prepared()` at `drivers/clk/at91/clk-
  sam9x60-pll.c:427-434`), and the new comment at `:343-348` documents
  the datasheet requirement that the correct PLL ID already be latched
  before issuing the forced update. That keeps behaviour consistent and
  avoids accidental misuse.
- The change is localized to the AT91 SAM9x60 PLL driver, introduces no
  new APIs, and simply guarantees the hardware sequencing works as
  documented; it has been validated on Sama7D65/Sam9x75 hardware per the
  Tested-by tag. The bug being fixed—lost update strobes leading to PLLs
  that won’t reliably enable/disable—is severe for users, while the
  regression risk from issuing guaranteed writes is minimal.
