The panic issue in your branch is not related to genpd. Its because you 
are accessing platform bus before it is initialized. The attached[1] 
patch on top of your branch made it boot again.

With your branch booting, I can see genpd related debugfs entries 
getting created. I don't see devices being attached to the domains you 
have though. I did not debug that. I suspect some matching issue.

Can you please check that and confirm there is no issue with genpd and 
using CLK_OF_DECLARE() to initialize clocks?

Unless you report an issue back, or Mike and Stephen have ideas about 
how to handle the dependency between PSC/PLL derived timer clock 
initialization and and timer_probe(), I think we need to move back to 
using CLK_OF_DECLARE(). 

Thanks,
Sekhar

In such a case, please use the hybrid approach where the clks required
for the clockevent and/or clocksource are registered in the early
CLK_OF_DECLARE path but the rest of the clks get registered with a
proper platform device and driver. There are examples of this approach
on other platforms already.

I looked at this a bit last week, but I didn't come up with any approach
that I was happy with. It seems like it would be nice to just register
the absolute minimum clocks needed. On DA8XX, that would just be the PLL0
AUXCLK. On most of the other SoCs, it would be the PLL AUXCLK plus one
LPSC clock. The AUXCLKs are easy because they are just a simple gate
from the oscillator. The LPSC clocks are a bit more tricky because they
have a complex sequence for turning on. Furthermore, on DM646X, we need
the whole PLL up to SYSCLK3 plus one LPSC clock, so things get a bit
messy there.

The other approach I considered was to make the PLL and PSC drivers
work as platform devices or pure clock devices so that when needed,
the whole IP block could be registered in very early init. However,
this approach will pretty much require massive changes to the drivers
to remove all of the uses of devm_, dev_err, etc. so that it works
when dev == NULL.

Any other bright ideas or a preference for one of these two approaches?

Things might change in the context of work being done here by Bartosz
for converting clocks to early platform devices.

But, keeping that development aside for a moment: I think this means the
PLLs and PSCs need to be CLK_OF_DECLARE(). What we can have as platform
devices are clocks that are not in the path to get timer clock working
(like CFGCHIP clocks).

Thanks,

CLK_OF_DECLARE() only matters on DA850. None of the other SoCs use device
tree. And on DA850, the timer0 clock is just the PLL0 AUXCLK, so PSCs can
still be platform devices there. And in fact, one of the PSC clocks on
DA850 depends on async3, which is a CFGCHIP clock, so if we made the PSCs
CLK_OF_DECLARE(), then we also have to make at least the async3 CFGCHIP
clock CLK_OF_DECLARE(). But, like I said, I think that can be avoided by
leaving the PSC clocks as a platform device on DA850 (and DA830).

For everything else, we need the legacy board file equivalent of
CLK_OF_DECLARE(), which is basically what I had here in v5 of the
series.

So, if we want this to keep moving before the if/when of Bartosz's
early platform device stuff, I'm thinking that I will make the PLL
and PSC drivers loadable with or without a platform device and let
each SoC pick which one it should use.

Thats true today, but lets not make the assumption that none of the
other DaVinci SoCs will gain DT support ever. We don't want churn in CCF
support once someone tries to add DT support for other platforms.

I already have people using DM365 in mainline, for example.

Okay, I did not realize that there is a dependency between CFGCHIP clk
and PSC too.

Yeah. I did not realize the dependency with timer when platform devices
were suggested. Sorry.

After looking at feedback to Bartosz's series, and the fact that
previous attempts at doing the same thing were rejected, I think there
is benefit in keeping CCF support moving independent Bartosz's work.
Otherwise, we have no chance of getting anything merged for v4.18.

Early initialization of clocks and dependency with timer is a pretty
common theme across SoCs. As and when a better way to support is found,
I am sure DaVinci can be converted over along with rest of the devices.

This sounds flexible. We have to see how the patches look. But I would
caution against adding a lot of dead code. If there is no way some of
the clocks will be useful as platform device, I see no point of
supporting them as such just in anticipation.

Thanks,
Sekhar

It's true, that the feedback was not very positive, but I'm still
thinking I can come up with something that would get accepted. Last
time someone came up with the idea, the problem it was supposed to
solve was different (dependencies between devices) and was eventually
fixed with introduction of probe deferral.

This time around we really want these devices probed early. The main
concern was using a device tree compatible. If I can instead just
early probe all devices whose drivers are registered as early without
touching the device tree (as Frank Rowand suggested) then maybe the
response of the community would be better.

Bart
