Hi Mike, Stephen, et al.,
As discussed at ELCE last week, here's my RFC introducing a new unified
binding and driver for the Renesas CPG (Clock Pulse Generator) and MSSR
(Module Standby and Software Reset) blocks. This is supposed to be more
in-line with current CCF best practices, and allows expansion to cover
the module reset functionality in the future.
The new bindings are intended to be used initially for the new R-Car
Gen3 SoCs (r8a7795), but we may decide to migrate older SoCs somewhen in
the future.
- Patch 1 introduces the new bindings,
- Patch 2 introduces clock definitions for r8a7795, which are
technically also part of the binding,
- Patch 3 prepares the existing div6 driver for reuse,
- Patch 4 introduces the new CPG/MSSR driver core, to be used by
several SoC-specific drivers,
- Patch 5 introduces the new r8a7795-specific driver.
The idea is to get the bindings (for r8a7795, i.e. patches 1 and 2)
accepted in v4.4, so we can continue developing and prepare final
support for r8a7795 in v4.5.
Compared to v3, the major change is the addition of a preliminary
version of the actual driver.
Implementation notes:
- The driver contains lots of pr_debug() and WARN_ON() calls. Many of
these will be removed in future versions,
- Conversion between (sparse) clock IDs and (packed) clock indices
will be reworked. Probably most of it can be handled in a macro when
populating the r8a779*_mod_clks[] arrays,
- Probably r8a779*_clk_types can be removed in favor of just using
CLK_TYPE_CUSTOM, and differentiating based on cpg_core_clk.id. But
the clk_types may make it easier to share code between different
SoCs of the same family.
- Most clock data is __initconst, to save memory in multi-platform
kernels,
- Setting CLK_ENABLE_HAND_OFF for critical clocks (e.g. the GIC clock)
is implemented (if CLK_ENABLE_HAND_OFF is available),
- Support for using special core clocks for power management (e.g. the
ZB clock on r8a73a4/sh7a0) is not yet fully implemented,
- Module clocks in DTS are no longer defines, but literal numbers
matching the numbers in the datasheet (just like IRQs),
- include/dt-bindings/clock/*-cpg-mssr.h now contains all core clock
outputs, as listed in the datasheet,
- Should include/dt-bindings/clock/*-cpg-mssr.h use contiguous
numbering, or should the same clock use the same number for
different SoCs of the same family?
Memory considerations on r8a7791/koelsch:
- Static size impact:
- DTB: -7.5 KiB
- initdata: +8 KiB (due to PAGE_SIZE rounding, actual + ca. 5 KiB)
- reserved: -24 KiB (includes unflattened DTB)
- However, the big saving seems to be in the runtime memory usage.
MemAvailable has increased by 248 KiB, presumably due to less
memory being used by the in-memory device tree representation.
For your convenience, I pushed these patches, the r8a7795 DTS
conversion, and a Proof-of-Concept for R-Car M2-W (r8a7791) to the
topic/cpg-mssr-v4 branch (based on topic/gen3-latest) of my
renesas-drivers repository at
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/geert/renesas-drivers.git/log/?h=topic/cpg-mssr-v4
Thanks for your comments!
