[1/2] clk: Make clk API return per-user struct clk instances

Commit Message

Tomeu Vizoso Oct. 2, 2014, 1:04 p.m. UTC

Moves clock state to struct clk_core, but takes care to change as little API as
possible.

struct clk_hw still has a pointer to a struct clk, which is the
implementation's per-user clk instance, for backwards compatibility.

The struct clk that clk_get_parent() returns isn't owned by the caller, but by
the clock implementation, so the former shouldn't call clk_put() on it.

Because some boards in mach-omap2 still register clocks statically, their clock
registration had to be updated to take into account that the clock information
is stored in struct clk_core now.

We should s/provider/core/ when we're dealing with clk_core
structures in the function signature. The providers are hardware
drivers and the core structures are for the framework, not the
same. Furthermore, the provider drivers should only be dealing
with clk_hw structures. The only place that clk_core should be in
clk-provider.h is in struct clk_hw because there's no way to get
around it.

This way, provider drivers should only be including
clk-provider.h because they only care about dealing with struct
clk_hw. Consumers should only be including linux/clk.h where they
only know about struct clk as an opaque pointer. Once we get OMAP
to stop using clk-private.h we can kill off that header entirely
(I see there are some other bogus users of that header outside of
OMAP that we should nuke). Then the framework can include
clk-provider.h and clk.h to map between the hw cookie and the
consumer cookie.

This is the end goal. I understand that the provider API is sort
of a mess with us allowing drivers to use the underscore and
non-underscore functions and the mixture of struct clk and struct
ckl_hw throughout.

Does this need to be forward declared?

We should pass struct clk_hw here instead of struct clk. Let's do
it soon before we get any users.

More like replace all callers with a function that returns their
parent's hw pointer.

	struct clk_hw *clk_provider_get_parent(struct clk_hw *hw)

What is this for? Does it actually happen that we have error

This function isn't even used. Maybe we should remove it.

Maybe just remove the function name entirely so we don't have to
keep updating something that's obvious from the code.

This should take clk_hw instead of clk_core.

Ah, please no. Why do we need this?

These ifdefs look useless.

So we shouldn't need this one either.

This looks weird. It makes me suspect we've failed to reference
count something properly. Can we avoid this?

Oops. Maybe we can just delete this one given that nobody uses it.

Agree this is how it should look like at some point, but for now I
need a reference to struct clk from struct clk_hw, so providers can
keep using the existing API. This reference would be removed once they
move to the new clk_hw-based API.

Can you extend on this? But I see how the behaviour doesn't match the
previous one because cl should be NULLed when __clk_get fails. I have
fixed this.

Ok sounds like we're on the same page.

It triggers my "that's not symmetric filter" because it requires the 
caller to free something allocated by the callee. Do we still need 
__clk_get() to be called in the common clock path? Why not just do the 
stuff we do in __clk_get() in __clk_create_clk()? Then if that fails we 
can return an error pointer indicating some sort of failure (-ENOENT?) 
and we don't need to do any sort of cleanup otherwise.

Actually, i had to put it back so clkdev.c builds on
!CONFIG_COMMON_CLK. Do you have another idea on how to deal with this?

Sorry, but I forgot to CC you on v2 (just sent):

What's the error? Probably need to add a forward declaration for struct 
clk, struct of_phandle_args, and struct clk_hw.
