There are two registers which can set the load capacitance for
XTAL1 and XTAL2. These are optional registers when using an
external crystal.  Parse the device tree and set the
corresponding registers accordingly.

No need to repeat the first 2 sentences, they are already in patch 1.

Thanks for the extensive comment, but I am confused. Not by your code
which is very clean and readable, but by the chip documentation
(disclaimer: I haven't read it in full depth).

The 5P49V6965 datasheet at page 17 clearly states capacitance can be
increased in 0.5 pF steps. The "VersaClock 6E Family Register
Descriptions and Programming Guide" at page 18 shows a table that allows
0.43 pF. Can you clarify how the thing works?

The 22832 limit is if you assume 0.43 pF steps. Assuming 0.5 pF steps
leads to 25000. Now I am more confused than before.

The reason I did that was because if someone does a git log on the
individual file, they'd see the comment.  While it's redundant not, it
might not be as obvious in the future when looking back.   Not
everyone reviews the history of the binding, but the source files' git
logs usually have some value.   However, if you want me to drop it or
rephrase it, I can do that.

I was confused too since the datasheet and programmers manual differ a bit.

I used the Versaclock 6E doc which is based on the following:

BIT 5 - Add 6.92pF
BIT 4 - Add 3.46pF
BIT 3 - Add 1.73pF
BIT 2 - Add 0.86pF
Bit 1 - Add 0.43pF
Bit 0 - Add 0.43pF

Because the Datasheet starts at 9pF, the math I used, assumes these
numbers are added to 9pF.
Because the datasheet shows the increments are in .5pF increments, the
430nF seems close.  The datasheet shows 9pF - 25pF and based on the
programmer table, we could get close to 25pF by enabling all bits and
adding 9pF, however the math doesn't quite hit 25pF.

For what it's worth I needed around 11.5pF, and with this patch, the
hardware engineer said our ppm went from around 70 ppm to around 4ppm.

I agree.  It would be nice to get some clarification from Renesas.

Makes sense, I had never considered that before.

Did he measure what happens if you set the register according to the 0.5
pF interpretation? Does it improve? I understand the difference is
probably olwer than the noise, but who knows.

Definitely. Do you have access to some support from them?
I don't think I have, but I can ask next week.

Luca,

We reached out to  Renesas with the following questions:

1)
I'm seeing a discrepancy between the datasheet and programming guide
we have for the Versaclock 6e in regard to the crystal load
programming registers.  The datasheet for the 5P49V6965A000NLGI
indicates a 9pF minimum with 0.5pF steps, while the programming guide
says that the lower two register bits both add 0.43pF, which would
make the equation:

Ci = 9pF + 0.43pF * XTAL[5:1] instead of
Ci = 9pF + 0.5pF * XTAL[5:0] as is published in the datasheet.

2)  The programming guide shows that the default setting is 01b, but
the note says it's reserved, use D1 D0 = 00.  Can you confirm that we
should set switch mode to 00 instead of the default 01?

And we got the following answers:

1)
     The first one with 0.43pF steps is the correct one. Ci = 9pF +
0.43pF * XTAL[5:1]
     0.5pF steps was the design target.  When measuring actual
silicon, we found 0.43pF steps.

     There are 6 bits reserved for the CL setting but bits 0 and 1
have the same 0.43pF step.  So it is actually 5 bits with an extra LSB
of 0.43pF.

2)
      Please use D1 D0 = 01.   The “00” is a typo…..

Based on the above response I think we should always assume XTAL bit 0
is 0, and only use XTAL[5:1] which should make the math go easier,
because the desired value in femtofarads would just be offset by 9000
and divided by 430 and that value would be shifted 3 places instead fo
two, and the  fixed-point math calculation can go away.

In addition to that, I would also need to make sure that D0 is set to
1, so instead of just writing the shifted XTAL value, I would also
have to do a logic OR with 1 to set the low bit.

I talked with the hardware guys from work who also suggested that we
always write the same value to X1 and X2, so I can remove the X1 and
X2 references from the bindings.

Does that work for you?

Great thing you got all those info from Renesas!

Yes.

We are only losing the ability to set 9 + (0.43 * 32) pF using all bits.
I'm OK with that. Should it be needed in the future we can just add it
as a special case, maybe just add a comment saying that, like "XTAL[5:0]
= b111111 not supported".

We'd be doing this with XTAL[5:1] which mathematically makes more sense.

XTAL[0] won't be supported at all by my updated algorithm, not just b111111

How can it be less than 0? It's unsigned.

I think we are saying the same thing in two different ways. According to
table 28 of the "Regiter description and programming guide", we have:

  Ci = 9 + (0.43 * N) pF

where N can be any integer between 0 and 32 (inclusive).

Your proposed implementation is:

reg_0x12 = (N << 3) | 0x1;

i.e. using only XTAL bits [5:1], not [0], so we can have any value in
the range [0..31], but not 32. This is OK for me.

Should we need value 32 at some point we can simply augment it as:

if (N == 32)
  reg_0x12 = (b111111 << 2) | 0x1;
else
  reg_0x12 = (N << 3) | 0x1; // your current proposal

Among all register XTAL values having XTAL[0] == 1, only b111111 is
interesting. All other values have an equivalent with XTAL[0] == 0.

Correct?
