[PATCH 0/2] imx9[4,5]_evk: Drop init_uart_clk from board code

[Peng Fan (OSS)]

The serial driver could enable the uart clk using clk_enable, there
is no need to call init_uart_clk in board_early_init_f.

The init_uart_clk() function is still kept, in case it is needed for
debug purpose.

Rely on serial driver calling clk_enable to enable the lpuart clk, no
need to do init_uart_clk in board_early_init_f().

Hello Peng,

It seems we copied the same mistake from your evk on our board,
see board/toradex/smarc-imx95/smarc-imx95.c:board_early_init_f(). Maybe
you can just fix also that one.

And I see init_uart_clk() called in a multiple imx8m board in U-Boot,
any comment on those?

Francesco

Can board_early_init_f() be completely removed from the board file now?

ok.

I need to give a look and test to see whether it is safe to remove
the call to init_uart_clk.

My previous cleanup patchset also touches the board file. There will
be conflict for Fabio/Tom to manage the patches, I will defer
imx8m init_uart_clk changes. So V2 is still only for i.MX95/4.

Thanks,
Peng.

Sure. I will remove it.
