Commit Message

Dario Binacchi Nov. 6, 2024, 8:57 a.m. UTC
The patch adds the DT bindings for enabling and tuning spread spectrum
clocking generation.

Signed-off-by: Dario Binacchi <dario.binacchi@amarulasolutions.com>

---

Changes in v3:
- Added in v3
- The dt-bindings have been moved from fsl,imx8m-anatop.yaml to
  imx8m-clock.yaml. The anatop device (fsl,imx8m-anatop.yaml) is
  indeed more or less a syscon, so it represents a memory area
  accessible by ccm (imx8m-clock.yaml) to setup the PLLs.

We had long talks about this but nothing of it got reflected in commit
msg. Sorry, I don't remember what I was talking in some particular patch
month ago, so you will get the same questions over and over...

1. How is it possible that you change spread spectrum of some clocks from
main Clock Controller, while this device is not a consumer of them?
Basically this means that this device does not have these clocks but yet
you claim that it needs to configure spread for them! It's contradictory
to me and nohing got explained in commit msg about it. I am pretty sure
I asked about this alrady.

2. Why is this array flexible in size?

Best regards,
Krzysztof

I digged my previous answer and it was pretty clear here:

18:44 <krzk> You can, but I still have the same concerns. How this
device - which does not take any clock input, has no clocks at all - can
depend on spread spectrum of some PLLs? Thsi device does not have clocks.
18:50 <krzk> device has no clocks, I checked now third time
18:50 <krzk> If device has clocks, it must have clocks property

So again, you do not need this property at all. I repeated it multiple
times - you are supposed to use clocks property.
