The NAND IP needs 2 clocks(nand_x_clk and nand_clk). This patch adds a
nand_x_clk, which is derived from the nand_clk, but has a fixed divider
of 4.

Update the NAND node to use the additional clock.

Doesn't SOCFPGA really need the ECC clock?

SOCFPGA has HW ECC engine.


I suggested to add ECC clock, and Richard agreed.

I don't see any mentions of an ECC clock in any of the SoCFPGA
documentation for the NAND IP.

I'd like you to check the IP documentation
published by Denali (or Cadence),
not published by Altera.

Is it available for you?



In my SoCs, the same clock signal (nand-clk-200m)
is connected to clk_x and ecc_clk, like this:

                                         -------------
--------------                           | DENALI IP |
|            |                           |           |
| clk        |---(nand-clk-50m)--------->| clk       |
| controller |                           |           |
|            |---(nand-clk-200m)-------->| clk_x     |
--------------                       |   |           |
                                     --->| ecc_clk   |
                                         |           |
                                         -------------


Some clock lines are often tied-up,
but such low-level information does not appear in
user documents.
I talked to a hardware engineer to get this information.



I guess the situation is similar for your case,
but I do not have information enough to argue this.

I don't disagree with this representation. But after asking around,
I'm getting the impression that the ECC clock is not exposed to the
clock manager. This implies that the clock is always turned on and
there doesn't seem to be any software control for it. I tested ECC
with this patch and it looks to be working correctly, without any ecc
clock representation.

I'm not sure if I should expose a dummy ecc_clk to satisfy the binding?

DT should represent the real HW.
If the Denali IP in SOCFPGA needs ecc_clk input,
DT should describe it.


I do not have knowledge about the SOCFPGA internals.
I do not know which is correct:

  - The Denali IP in SOCFPGA needs ecc_clk,
    but there is no software control for it.

  - The Denali IP in SOCFPGA does not need ecc_clk.

Here's a diagram of the clocking for the NAND IP on SOCFPGA.

                                      -------------
--------------                        | DENALI IP    |
|            |                        |              |
| clk        |                        | |-->clk(/4)  |
| controller |                        | |            |
|            |---(nand_clk)-------------|-->clk_x    |
-------------                         | |	     |
                                      | |-->ecc_clk  |
                                      |              |
                                      ---------------

From the clock controller, it provides a single 200MHz clock to the NAND
IP. Inside the NAND IP, there is a /4 for the clk. The 200MHz clock is
used for the clk_x and ecc_clk.

The nand-clk is the only clock that can be gated.

So should I be representing the clocks even though it doesn't come from
the clock controller?

The Denali IP does not contain the divisor in it.

My best guess is Altera implemented a simple
wrapper with the 1/4 divisor, like this?

Anyway, you know the same clock is connected to nand_x to ecc_clk.

So, there is no problem for adding "ecc" as well, right?
