Clocks are required for FPGA logic, and a some of those do not involve software drivers at all. The GTR transceivers on the Xilinx ZynqMP chips use these clocks for SATA and PCIe, but the driver implementation from Xilinx for these is far from mature, for example it passes the clock frequency as a PHY parameter and isn't even aware of the clk framework at the moment.

For the case of 'clock-critical', that would serve the purpose quite well indeed. It does add the risk of people sprinkling that all over the devicetree. Short term, I guess the best thing to do here is to remove the "always-on" property from my patch. I'll put the "clock-critical" idea on my list of generic clock patches to sneak in on other budgets, it'll be right behind "allow sub-1Hz or fractional clock rate accuracy" (yes I actually have a use case for that) and "allow frequencies over 4GHz" (the 14GHz clock in the Si5341 luckily isn't available on the outside so I can cheat)...

We would need to add another property indicating which clks we want to mark as 'critical' or 'always-on'. There have been prior discussions where we had developers want to mark clks with the CLK_IS_CRITICAL flag from DT, but we felt like that was putting SoC level details into the DT. While that was correct for SoC specific clk drivers, I can see board designs where it's configurable and we want to express that a board has some clks that must be enabled early on and left enabled forever because the hardware engineer has design the board that way. In this case, marking the clk with the CLK_IS_CRITICAL flag needs to be done from DT. In fact, we pretty much already have support for this with of_clk_detect_critical(). Maybe we should re-use that binding with 'clock-critical' to let clk providers indicate that they have some clks that should be marked critical once they're registered. We could probably add another property too that indicates certain clks are enabled out of the bootloader, similar to the regulator-boot-on property, but where it takes a clock-cells wide list for the provider the property is inside of. We need to be careful though and make sure that clk drivers don't start putting everything in DT. In your example, it sounds like you have a consumer driver that wants to make sure the clk is prepared or enabled when the consumer probes. In this case the prepare/enable calls should be put directly into the consumer driver so it can manage the clk state. For the case of rates and parents, it's essentially a oneshot configuration of the rate or the parents of a clk. We don't need to "undo" the configuration when the device driver is removed. For prepare and enable though, we typically want to disable clks when the hardware is not in use to save power. Adding a property to DT should only be done to indicate a clk must always be on in this board configuration, not to avoid calling clk_prepare_enable() in the driver probe. To put it another way, I'm looking to describe how the board is designed and to indicate that certain clks are always enabled at power on or are enabled by the bootloader. Configuration has it's place too, just that configuration is a oneshot sort of thing that never needs to change at runtime.

I'm not too sure about this one. Seems like if you have child nodes,

Possibly with a table in the > clk driver to tell us how to generate those rates. The PLL frequency choice determines who'll get jitter and who won't. It's ridiculously accurate too. For example, if you need a 26 MHz and a 100 MHz output, there's no solution for the PLL that makes both clocks an integer divider (SI is vague about it, but apparently integer dividers have less jitter on output). Only the enduser can say which clock will get the better quality. > > Right. So maybe we make tables of rates and put it in the driver and > keep adding code in there?

It's all user choice, that's the issue here. Drivers themselves cannot make this decision. (user = the person doing board support, writing the devicetree and kernel config for example) In my example, the chip has no issue synthesizing both 26 and 100 MHz. Depending on the main PLL setting, one may have more jitter than the other. If the PLL is set to 14.0 GHz, the 100 MHz clock will be of better quality, while if the PLL is set to 13.624 GHz (an even multiple of 26), the 26 MHz will have better quality. >> +- silabs,reprogram: When present, the driver will always assume the >> device must >> + be initialized, and always performs the soft-reset routine.

The driver can sort of see that the chips is already configured. This tells the driver whether that's expected or just coincidence.

I've experimentally determined that TOOL_VERSION and DESIGN_IDx apparently get filled with zeroes by the clockbuilder anyway. ACTIVE_NVM_BANK works reliably for self-programmed chips.

I suppose if there isn't going to be code for them and they're complicated then it might not make sense to add the properties. All that matters immediately is to get the required properties correct.

Some day maybe. That's what I meant when I wrote "does not support any fancy input configurations". The input config is horrendously complex. We have never used anything but just the xtal input, and I think that goes for 99.9% of the use cases for this chip. I already went way over budget with this one, my first intention was to write a driver that takes a firmware blob from the "clockbuilder" software, but while writing it I discovered that the whole damn thing could easily be controlled completely without it. > >> +- #address-cells: shall be set to 1. >> +- #size-cells: shall be set to 0. > > I'd expect to see all the input voltage supplies here too. > > vdd-supply > vdda-supply > vdds-supply > vdd0-supply > vdd1-supply > vdd2-supply > vdd3-supply > vdd4-supply > vdd5-supply > vdd6-supply > vdd7-supply > vdd8-supply > vdd9-supply I'll look into it.

+Binding for Silicon Labs Si5341 and Si5340 programmable i2c clock generator.
+
+Reference
+[1] Si5341 Data Sheet
+
https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/reference-manuals/Si5341-40-D-RM.pdf
+
+The Si5341 and Si5340 are programmable i2c clock generators with up to 10
output
+clocks. The chip contains a PLL that sources 5 (or 4) multisynth clocks, which
+in turn can be directed to any of the 10 (or 4) outputs through a divider.
+The internal structure of the clock generators can be found in [1].
+
+The driver can be used in "as is" mode, reading the current settings from the
+chip at boot, in case you have a (pre-)programmed device. If the PLL is not
+configured when the driver probes, it assumes the driver must fully initialize
+it.
+
+The device type, speed grade and revision are determined runtime by probing.
+
+The driver currently only supports XTAL input mode, and does not support any
+fancy input configurations. They can still be programmed into the chip and
+the driver will leave them "as is".
+
+==I2C device node==
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: shall be one of the following: "silabs,si5341", "silabs,si5340"
+- reg: i2c device address, usually 0x74
+- #clock-cells: from common clock binding; shall be set to 1.
+- clocks: from common clock binding; list of parent clock
+ handles, shall be xtal reference clock. Usually a fixed clock.
+- clock-names: Shall be "xtal".
+- #address-cells: shall be set to 1.
+- #size-cells: shall be set to 0.
+
+Optional properties:
+- silabs,pll-m-num, silabs,pll-m-den: Numerator and denominator for PLL
+ feedback divider. Must be such that the PLL output is in the valid range. For
+ example, to create 14GHz from a 48MHz xtal, use m-num=14000 and m-den=48.
Only
+ the fraction matters, using 3500 and 12 will deliver the exact same result.
+ If these are not specified, and the PLL is not yet programmed when the driver
+ probes, the PLL will be set to 14GHz.
+- silabs,reprogram: When present, the driver will always assume the device must
+ be initialized, and always performs the soft-reset routine. Since this will
+ temporarily stop all output clocks, don't do this if the chip is generating
+ the CPU clock for example.
+
+==Child nodes==
+
+Each of the clock outputs can be overwritten individually by
+using a child node to the I2C device node. If a child node for a clock
+output is not set, the configuration remains unchanged.
+
+Required child node properties:
+- reg: number of clock output.
+
+Optional child node properties:
+- silabs,format: Output format, see [1], 1=differential, 2=low-power, 4=LVCMOS
+- silabs,common-mode: Output common mode, depends on standard.
+- silabs,amplitude: Output amplitude, depends on standard.
+- silabs,synth-source: Select which multisynth to use for this output
+- silabs,synth-frequency: Sets the frequency for the multisynth connected to
+ this output. This will affect other outputs connected to this multisynth. The
+ setting is applied before silabs,synth-master and clock-frequency.
+- silabs,synth-master: If present, this output is allowed to change the
+ multisynth frequency dynamically.
+- clock-frequency: Sets a default frequency for this output.
+- always-on: Immediately and permanently enable this output. Particulary
+ useful when combined with assigned-clocks, since that does not prepare
clocks.
+
+==Example==
+
+/* 48MHz reference crystal */
+ref48: ref48M {
+ compatible = "fixed-clock";
+ #clock-cells = <0>;
+ clock-frequency = <4800>;

+ #clock-cells = <1>;
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;

+ clock-names = "xtal";
+
